Reminder of Diocesan Youth Covenant

The Episcopal Diocese of Texas is committed to providing a safe place for all people, including youth who participate in Diocesan sponsored events. For that reason, the following expectations of conduct apply for participation in all diocesan youth events.

– The Diocese requires that all persons, including both adults and other youth, be treated with respect. Hazing, harassment, and any verbal, physical, or emotional abuse is specifically prohibited and will not be tolerated at any event.
– Any theft or destruction of personal property belonging to another or property belonging to the facility is forbidden and may lead to expulsion.
– Youth events provide an opportunity for youth to participate in activities that will lead to fellowship and bonding in Christ. Sexual activity is not permitted and can lead to removal from the event.
– The use of alcohol, tobacco, e-cigarettes, or illegal drugs is strictly prohibited.
– The use or possession of weapons or fireworks is also prohibited, as are lighters, candles, or any open flame.
– Because of the distraction they pose, cell phones should not be used during any scheduled activities. Cell phones should never be used while driving.
– Although efforts will be made to resolve issues that arise, any violation of the prohibitions set forth above may lead to expulsion. If that occurs, parents will be informed and will be responsible for any expenses incurred as a result of the violation, including transportation home.

– Cualquier robo o destrucción de bienes personales pertenecientes a otro o propiedad que pertenece a las instalaciones está prohibido y puede llevar a la expulsión.
– Los eventos para jóvenes representan una oportunidad para que los jóvenes participen en actividades que conduzcan a la comunión y la unión en Cristo. No se permite la actividad sexual y puede llevar a la eliminación del evento.
– El uso de alcohol, tabaco o drogas ilegales está estrictamente prohibido.
– El uso o posesión de armas o fuegos artificiales también están prohibidas, encendedores, velas o cualquier llama abierta.
– Debido a la distracción que suponen, los teléfonos celulares no deben ser utilizadas durante las actividades programadas. Los teléfonos celulares no deben utilizarse nunca durante la conducción.
– A pesar de que se hará un esfuerzo para resolver los problemas que surjan, cualquier violación de las prohibiciones establecidas anteriormente puede llevar a la expulsión.
