  Ok, my two cents: 

All of the reasons stated are why 2 deep leadership is REQUIRED at youth activities. 

In the past and sometimes even now, it has been /and is often incredibly difficult for youth ministers to get adults, including parents to be willing to spend time helping in the youth center. Those parents who have started stepping up and helping, you have the undying gratitude of the MOY. 

Please.....Don't make your youth minister, beg, plead and threaten to get some help. If every parent of every kid that is attending an event donated just one hour of their event time helping in the youth center, 
. The 2 deep leadership rule would always be met. 
. The kids would have better adult supervision (which IS needed)
. The MOY wouldn't be so frazzled by the time the event is over. 
. You'd have better retention of youth officers.

So parents, and other kid friendly folks (aunts, uncles, grandparents, teen siblings, etc) that are out there.... if you're going to an event, How about 
contacting the youth minister ahead of time, and asking them what you can do to help them...or register to help in the youth center at the same time you register for the event.

That would be incredibly awesome. 

Thanks for listening and once again, for the incredible parents who have been seen regularly helping in the youth center as of late, you know who you are.....again, Thank you.

Past MOY, so I know what I'm talking about.
