WV Wesleyan College Youth Program Code of Conduct

The primary purpose of the Youth Program Code of Conduct is to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants at events and activities hosted at WV Wesleyan College in Buckhannon. It applies to all participants, including minors, their parents and guardians, and volunteers. As a participant in this program, I will:

• Conduct myself in a courteous manner and treat youth, parents and guardians, volunteers, staff, and others with respect. Appropriate language and behavior are expected at all times.
• Respect and adhere to the rules and guidelines of the program, including all those specific to this event or activity.
• Uphold an individual’s right to dignity by supporting an environment of inclusion that welcomes the involvement of participants from all backgrounds.
• Obey local, state, and federal laws.

Participants who fail to adhere to the Youth Program Code of Conduct are subject to a range of disciplinary actions from WV Wesleyan College staff. When appropriate, immediate corrective action will be taken at the event to ensure the safety and welfare of all participants. I understand that if I fail to adhere to the above Code of Conduct, I will be subject to disciplinary action and potentially prohibited from attending and participating in this event and future programs at WV Wesleyan College.

Try This will also enforce these rules and ensure a safe environment for everyone. In the case where a young person has been dismissed from the event but must wait for a ride home, they will be placed with a Try This volunteer chaperone for the remainder of their time at the event.
