Participant Rules/Behavioral Expectations for Online Events

Each youth and adult participant must agree to the event rules/expectations, which must be presented at the beginning of each event. These rules/expectations may be specific to the event, but must include the following:

  • No violence including violent/bullying language, threats, displaying a weapon or violent images.

  • No sexualized conduct or behavior on or off line including sexual advances, jokes, explicit or offensive pictures, requests for sexual favors, sexting, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.

  • No use of drugs, alcohol, cannabis, or illegal substances—before or during the event so no one is under the influence during the event.

  • No harassment on the basis of gender and sexual orientation, race, national origin, religion, disability or any other protected status. Such harassment includes unsolicited remarks, gestures, display or circulation of written materials or derogatory images directed at any of these categories.

  • Online rule of three—no adult one-on-one messaging/interaction with a youth.

Prior to attendance at UUA youth events, all participants must disclose any child welfare agency investigation or any criminal or juvenile delinquency arrests, charges, convictions including those involving abuse, violence, sexual misconduct, domestic violence, child abuse, driving while intoxicated or under the influence, firearms or dangerous weapons or similar matters. UUA may deny or limit a youth participant based on any of these disclosures.
