The Youth Protection Policy represents a code of <br />ethics which all volunteers and staff are expected to observe. <br /> <br />Whether we are staff members or volunteers, teens or adults, all of <br />us who work closely with young people have the potential to <br />profoundly affect the well-being of children. In addition to <br />providing safe and appropriate environments, we must also be <br />positive role models, focusing on how we communicate with <br />youth, our methods of discipline and problem-solving, and how <br />sensitive we are to the individual needs of all youth. <br /> <br />The primary purpose of the Youth Protection Policy is to ensure <br />the safety and well-being of all youth participants, their families, <br />volunteers and paid staff.
