Behavioural Covenant YYAC, Youth Forum and Youth Events We are not alone, we live in God s world! Wherever two or three are gathered, God is present. (Matthew 18:20) When we gather, we have responsibilities: towards ourselves, towards the others with whom we gather, and towards God. It is our intent that all of the Bay of Quinte Conference YYAC Program, Youth Forum and Youth Events will provide a safe space for youth to participate and to grow in relationships with one another and with God. In order to accomplish this goal it requires the best intentions of all participants. We all have a role to play in helping to build a strong community. Certain behaviours contribute to the health of a community, while others can be unsafe and can create unhealthy tensions and breakdown in community. As participants in Bay of Quinte Conference Youth Forum, we will celebrate the incredible diversity of participants and strive to not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, culture, colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, abilities, age, class, and theological beliefs. I,, a participant in the Bay of Quinte Conference Youth Forum community, will participate in following the standards described in this covenant, and the standards that will be collectively created when the community gathers. I commit to upholding these standards, for the duration of the event. I understand that should I fail to adhere to these standards I may be removed from participation in the group, and/or required to return home. If a participant is sent home, the participant will not be eligible for a refund of fees paid. Signed: Date: Parent/Guardian Signature:
