Services I offer as a Youth Coordinator…

Youth Coordination

Think you might need a Youth Coordinator for your production?

I offer in person and online Youth Coordination for Film, TV, theatre and school productions.

Workshop: Boundary Setting & Self Advocacy for Young Actors

“Boundary Setting and Self Advocacy for Young Actors”, was created to help actors ages 13 to 17 learn to advocate for themselves on and off stage and set. 

This workshop is intended for teachers or camp counselors to facilitate with their students.

Private Sessions

I offer Consultations for Drama teachers, Directors of School Plays, Directors of Theater Camps, Counselors, etc.

In these consultations I can offer Youth Coordination guidance and advice as well as training on how to run my Workshop.

How I work as a Youth Coordinator…

Protection for Minors & Networks

  • I have conversations with production (the director & others), the minor, and their parent or guardian to clarify the meaning of the following SAG statement for specific production purposes: 

    “Anything that jeopardizes the safety, morals, and welfare of a minor.”

  • I assist minors in regulating their bodies so the best option for them is always present while production stays on schedule. 

Communication with Parents & Guardians

  • I act as a liaison and buffer between parents/guardians, productions (the director & others), and the minor.

    • This ensures the parent/guardian always has a place to voice questions or concerns, without needing to be in constant contact with Producers.

A creative and informed environment for minors

  • I work with the minor and their parents or guardians to properly educate each of them on script content in an age appropriate manner.

  • I can assist minors in regulating their body with my kit, which is one of my most important tools. This kit is filled with age appropriate sensory and oral tools as well as tools for actors with noise sensitivity.

  • I accompany minors wherever they go, if requested. I will act as their buddy on set to be someone they can ask questions of personal need (water or bathroom breaks).

    • Additionally, I can accompany minors to any production-related meetings, including makeup and costumes, to ensure their needs are respected.
