Surf Life Saving Lakes Entrance currently has its Yips sign ups open for 2024/25.
Retention of members aged 14-18 years in lifesaving seems to be a difficult task for life saving clubs across Victoria, so the Youth Involvement Program (YIPs) aims to overcome this retention issue and helps develop and engage young members.
Over the past season hundreds of Victoria’s youth start their involvement in YIPs, which in simple terms sees the YIPs program reward the youngster for all the good work that they do at their club.
Participants get points for patrols, water safety, organising club functions, mentoring, training and assessing just to name a few areas.
Once enrolled, participants can make their way through the bronze, silver and gold levels of the program.
Each level requires the participants to achieve a basic number of points and then they will be rewarded with achieving the level.
