5) Persons working with youth shall immediatly report to their supervisor any behavior that seems abusive or inappropriate.
Additional guidelines for working with youth

1) Effective leaders will carry on a realtionally based ministry, which at times will require one-on-one counseling/meeting with a youth. Mentors should meet with youth in public places that offer accountability to protect themselves and the youth

2) Camp Counselors should not be alone with the youth in a cabin

3) Persons working with youth will not have "sleepovers" / "camping trips" unless another certified Guiding Influence or Camp Iron Sights volunteer is present and the trip has been approved by a supervisor/department head.
I have read this participation covenant, and I agree to observe and abide by the policies set forth above.
