No minors should be in bedrooms of the Center, and it is better if they simply do not enter the residents’ area of the center.Īny overnight activities or one-day trips involving minors should include a sufficient proportion of adults and never fewer than two. No adult should ever be alone with a minor in a bedroom. When staff or volunteers talk to minors alone they should do so in a room with the door open or with a window in the door allowing them to be easily seen, or someplace where they can be easily seen by other people. Priests should hear confessions and give spiritual direction to minors only in a confessional with a screen, in a room with a window in the door allowing them to be easily seen, or in a place where they are in the sight of other people (but out of earshot). Whenever adults are with an individual minor, they should always remain within view of other people and should avoid being alone in any isolated place. Virtus training for volunteers under the age of 18 is optional.

Volunteers under the age of 18 are not asked for those requirements because they are not allowed to have unsupervised contact with children or other youths. A minor is anyone under the age of 18.Īll staff and volunteers, ages 18 and older, will be required to have been Virtus trained and have submitted a Level 2 Background Check. The guidelines also apply to one-on-one counseling of minors who take part in these activities. These guidelines apply to all staff and volunteers of Tekesta Study Center who oversee and carry out activities at Tekesta (or offsite) in which minors take part.
