NSS Regional Coordinator Program

The NSS Regional Coordinator Program centers on a group of volunteers who assist local youth groups in learning about caving. They do not guide youth groups into caves as part of this program, though some do this on an individual basis. They act as a local resource and may answer questions to help direct youth groups to better and safer caving information. This is a new program. More volunteer regional directors may be added in the future.

Tips for emailing the Regional Coordinators

Regional Coordinators receive hundreds of requests each year from youth groups. To help the Regional Coordinators keep track of your request, please enter the following into the subject line of each e-mail you send: YGLC, Organization (initials are preferable), Unit Number, Activity Date. YGLC stands for Youth Groups Liaison Committee and including this helps sort youth group requests from personal e-mail.

For example, if you are the leader of Boy Scout Troop 431 and you would like a cave conservation presentation on March 15, 2006, please enter the information in the subject line to read: YGLC, BSA, 431, 3/15/06

If you lead a youth group that does not have a unit number, or if you do not have a date in mind, please leave these spaces blank. For example, if you are the leader of a youth group called Adventure Kids that has no national or regional affiliation, and you don't have a date or activity in mind, please write in the subject line: YGLC, AK
