Children and Youth Protection Policy

We understand that your children are the most precious thing in the world to you; they are precious to us, too, and we feel the greatest possible sense of responsibility when you entrust them to us for an hour or a day.

That's why we have implemented a "Children and Youth Protection Policy." This policy requires that all volunteers and staff who regularly work with children or youth must go through a screening process, must be appropriately trained, and must sign a participation covenant. The screening process includes an application, an interview, reference checks, a criminal records check, and review by a screening team.

All activities involving children and youth will be supervised by at least one screened adult.
