Dear Parents, Teachers and Community,






​The new Policies for the Safety of Children and Youth.
Because one young person affected by abuse is one person too many.
Last summer, the Clergy Laity of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America unanimously adopted something big we’ve been working on:
The new Policies for the Safety of Children and Youth.
These Policies do 3 important things:

1. set the requirements for who can participate in Youth Ministry Programs and Events;
2. establish clear procedures for how we report things like Abuse and suspected Abuse; and 
3. identify the kinds of inappropriate or abusive conduct that have no place in ministry.

 

1. Check out the new youth safety series we posted on our YouTube channel
2. Visit the official Archdiocese youth safety website to find easy-to-follow checklists you can follow to become a Youth Worker
3. Send these materials to your parish leadership (priest, parish council, youth director, etc)

Together, we can make sure that every youth ministry program and event is a safe space where young people can encounter Christ.
Peace,
Steve
