Lifestyle Contract: By saying yes to being a Youth Leader, a person is not only influencing students through their words and behaviors at church, but also through how they live their life as a whole. Students are watching for authentic living and it is important to lead by example. Leaders and the Youth Director hold each other accountable to this standard. *

I understand that part of being a youth leader means abiding by certain lifestyle expectations. I am willing to read, sign, and follow this type of contract.

I am not comfortable with this.

Code of Ethics: There is a higher standard for Youth Leaders when present at church events of any kind. Due to the nature of being a leader there are strict expectations for behaviors that both enhance the youth community and protect the youth leader. Safety and mindfulness is of high importance within the church and protecting each youth leader is the most important concern for the youth director! *

I am willing to read, sign, and follow a code of ethics.

I am not comfortable with this.
