Event orientation must cover at a minimum these items:

• Inclusion

• Consensual touch including affirmative consent

• Recognizing and speaking up when behavior becomes sexualized*

• Bullying and harassment

• No retaliation - expressing concerns and complaints is encouraged

• Limits of confidentiality

• Medication procedures

• Sleeping and curfew procedures and rules

• Where to bring any concerns, anything uncomfortable or just “weird”

• Event community norms and/or covenant

  • Note: Should cover how the youth community addresses inclusivity of all identities, especially those more marginalized (see questions in community norms)

• UUA Youth Behavior Rules/Expectations

• Host/Partner site policies if applicable.

*Without a conversation about recognizing when behavior becomes sexualized, it’s difficult for youth to speak up in the grey zone between clearly non-sexual and clearly sexual.
