Youth Group Policy and Code of Conduct

This form is a requirement for participation in NMCC Youth Group events. Please review the following carefully with your Youth Group participant. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sue Timony-Hall.

Youth group policies

To be considered an active member of SYG or JYG, we encourage individuals to attend as many gatherings as possible. We feel strongly that it is important for our youth to participate in community service and mission experiences, and we will sign off on hours for academic requirements. Please make room in your schedule to attend one event monthly.

In order to be considered an “active” member of NMCC Senior Youth Group, each member must:

Attend at least one meeting/activity per month. A parent should contact our CE Director if they are unable to meet this requirement.
Participate in 12 hours of community service per year. The NMCC Youth Group offers several opportunities for members to accomplish these service hours. A member may do those community service hours outside of the opportunities offered at NMCC. They should notify our CE Director of their involvement outside of church service.

Our Youth Group members agree to:

Remain on the Church property once they have arrived for a meeting or activity. They may not leave until picked up by adult stated on the permission form. For those driving themselves, they agree to remain at the meeting/activity until it is concluded.
Refrain from using phones while at Youth Group meetings or activities.
Do their utmost to use transportation provided by NMCC for all off-site events. It is recommended that no one under the age of 21 is to drive youth group members for any church sponsored activity. Should parents desire their youth to drive themselves to an activity OR to drive a friend, it should be noted that NMCC’s responsibility for the youth begin when they arrive at the event and ends when they leave the event. All CT state law must be followed when teens are driving.
No teens will drive to out of state mission trips or activities.

Youth group code of conduct

As a member of the NMCC Youth Group I agree to:

Follow the Youth Group Policies described above.
Bring a spirit of respectful giving to the meetings, fundraisers and church sponsored activities.
Treat each other with kindness and respect, encouraging one another as we grow in faith.
Respect the adult leadership and volunteers.
When our youth attend activities or mission trips led by other churches/agencies, our youth will abide by that organization's dress policy.
Remain with the group at all times and notify an adult leader if it becomes necessary to leave the group.
Report injuries or safety concerns to adult leader immediately.
Refrain from derogatory or vulgar language, sarcasm, inappropriate jokes or other forms of abusive behavior.
Refrain from inappropriate touching.
Refrain from verbal or online (social media) bullying.
Never bring alcohol or illegal substances (including vaping paraphernalia) to youth group activities or attend under their influence.
No weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, are permitted at any CE programs/activities.
All members are required to remain on the Church property or the program area once they have arrived for a meeting or activity. They may not leave until picked up by a parent. For those driving themselves, they agree to remain at the meeting/activity until it is concluded.
No cell phone/electronics should be used without the permission of the staff or adult volunteer.
It is recommended that no one under the age of 21 is to drive youth group members for any church sponsored in state activity. Should parents desire their youth to drive themselves to an in state activity OR to drive a friend, it should be noted that NMCC’s responsibility for the youth begin when the teen arrives at the event and ends when they leave the event. All CT state law must be followed when teens are driving.
No teens will drive to out of state mission trips or activities.
I have read the SafeConduct Policy and have had the opportunity to ask questions.

This code of conduct is in place to help ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment while participating in NMCC’s Youth Group activities. If there is ever a reason for the adult leadership of the youth group, adult volunteers for a Church sponsored Youth Group event or the Church leadership itself to be concerned about the conduct of a participant, the situation will be handled as indicated in the Response section of the SafeConduct Policy.
