HANDBOOKNAME
DIVISION
This is your own copy of the Youth handbook.
Use this to record your details, achievements and other milestones as you progress through the programme.
“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.”
- Stephen Hawking
Welcome to St JohnOur vision
To become the youth development programme of choice in Aotearoa; in the outcomes for young people, quality of delivery and connection with the community.
Our mission
Deliver a vibrant leadership and first aid programme, focussed on development and successes of young people which enhances health and wellbeing in our community.
The Youth programme is for all young people from 6 to 18 years. Among the skills our penguins and cadets develop, there are fantastic opportunities to meet new people, experience new things and of course, have fun!
We encourage leadership and development by promoting community service, learning life skills and providing real leadership opportunities and training.
During your time with St John we want you to develop your skills in caring for people and your ability to deal with emergency situations. We would like you to develop your sense of responsibility and to belong to an organisation that plays an important role in New Zealand.
Make sure that you participate, not only in the range of activities offered by St John Youth, but also in the running of your division and the joint activities offered in your district. You will quickly find that the more you get involved, the more you will get out of your experience in Youth.
We hope you will take advantage of all the opportunities available to you, as it will help you face the many challenges that life holds in the future.
Welcome to the St John family.

Wearing your uniformYou should wear your uniform smartly, correctly and with pride because you are representing St John. It is important that you follow the uniform rules so that St John can maintain its public image. When you wear any sort of St John clothing you are representing St John and anything you do or say is a reflection on the organisation.
All members must be appropriately and neatly dressed and groomed for the work they are expected to perform. For patient safety and comfort, all members must observe a high level of personal hygiene. The following are some examples to guide members in their grooming, but is not a complete list:

Community service26 | Youth Handbook
What can be accredited to my hours?
Any voluntary activity that benefits the people, services or environment in your community without any personal gain.
What does personal gain mean?
• getting paid for your service • acquiring possessions through your service • receiving benefits from your service • being provided with returned services • activities that contribute to gaining additional St John achievements (e.g.
proficiency badges, qualifications, acquiring NCO rank, VIP points..) • gaining NCEA credits • activities in your division that are part of your role (e.g. Sergeant instructing
at your own division).
Examples of voluntary activities in your community:
• charity work with community organisations • assisting with fundraising campaigns • helping out with community projects and conservation work • giving assistance to rest homes and hospitals • community initiatives in your school or Youth council • administration (libraries, community newsletters, planning..) • coaching others (sports, the arts, skills..) • educating others (after school peer tutoring..) • mentoring others (help lines, after school peer support..) • supervising others (school road patrol, life saving..).
Examples of volunteering in St John Youth: *
• instructing a group on a skill or topic outside your division • assisting in a leadership/staff role at a camp or training day (games, kitchen..) • assisting at competitions (patient, marshal, judge, paper runner, casualty
simulation) • training a team for competitions (outside of divisional hours) • representing St John at parades such as ANZAC Day • assisting the training of community groups in skills such as first aid • assisting local Youth recruitment drives in your community • helping your division with administrative tasks.
Community service Youth Handbook | 27
Examples of volunteering in St John: *
• helping fundraising campaign leading up to and during Annual Appeal week • attending operational events alongside Events personnel • promoting St John and our Youth programmes at community events • working bees at local St John stations and complexes • volunteering at regional office (uniform sorting, mailouts, administration).
* Note this does not include activities that contribute to achieving badges, qualifications or NCO rank.
Important to note
Assisting members of your family does not constitute community service, i.e. babysitting siblings (unless parents are attending a community event, e.g. community group meeting), cooking dinner for the family, housework, washing the car, mowing the lawns, walking the dog, helping out on the farm. These are all activities which are part of being a family member and looking after your own.
Summary of community service in action:
Mhelping out a neighbour with household maintenance N if they pay you or return the favour with their service
N attending your youth division N attending your youth division to instruct a group Massisting your division with fundraising
N attending youth competitions as a competitor Mattending youth competitions as a patient or marshall (i.e. helping out)
N attending another youth division Mattending another youth division to instruct a group
N attending a youth division to instruct a group as part of your leadership badge
Massisting a leader instruct first aid to staff of a local recreation centre N receiving a year’s free membership at the centre as a result
Mbabysitting your siblings N babysitting your siblings if your parents are at a community event/meeting
N giving service as part of a work experience
Further information:
If there is any uncertainty as to whether an activity qualifies for volunteer hours, your Regional Youth Manager will make the decision.
