Starting Point:  

Explore the Parent Resource Site and download the Parents Guide.  It will answer a lot of your basic questions.  https://sites.google.com/adventures.org/parentministry/ 

Staying Connected To Other Parents And Your Racer:

• Parent Facebook Group – This is the primary way we communicate with you, connect with you and encourage you.  Because it is a closed group, you will need to go to the group page and request to join. Search in FB for (launch month, Year) WR parents.  (e.g., January 2021 WR Parents)

• To see the makeup of the various teams/squads once they are announced - http://www.worldrace.org/?tab=participants - (Or:  Go to worldrace.org, then click on Racers, then Find a Racer, Find a Squad.  Scroll down to find your Squad).

• Subscribe to your Racer’s blog and the blogs of their teammates - On your Racer’s blog, along the left side (when viewed on a laptop or computer), you’ll see their teammates.  By clicking the link under their picture you will get to their blog and can subscribe there.

• To see the most recent blogs from an entire squad or team – Last 100 blogs by squad:  http://www.worldrace.org/?tab=participants and last 100 blogs by team:  http://www.worldrace.org/?tab=blogs&pteamname=list (or, from the WR website, click on Blogs tab and choose what you’re looking for).

• World Race Parent Announcement blog – This will be used to communicate information of a more general nature or that might need to be found again after it is posted.  You will be subscribed to this as it gets close to Launch.
