COMMUNITY COVENANT FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS

I understand each youth event’s community strives to be inclusive, healthy, safe and spirit-centered. Realizing that what I do affects
many others in this community, district and our Unitarian Universalist faith I promise to observe the following.
• Model self-care by respecting myself, recognizing my physical (sleep!), emotional and psychological needs, and seek
appropriate youth or adults with whom to process feelings and concerns.
• Refrain from holding, using or distributing illegal substances or weapons
• Use appropriate, non-violent and respectful language and behavior
• Respect others, physical premises and others’ personal property
• Refrain from sexual intercourse of any kind and refrain from any sexual behavior which diminishes inclusive community
• Abide by sleeping arrangements (one blanket/bag; one person)

I understand that failure to follow these guidelines could include my removal from the event at my parents or my expense and could
jeopardize the continuation of youth events/cons. I also agree not to leave the set boundaries of the event without permission or, if
an adult, without notification of con coordinators.
