BITY Code of Conduct
I will promote the creation of a religious youth community based on mutual respect and a sense of personal well-being. I will treat others with kavod (honor and respect) because we are created b’tzelem Elohim (in the image of God). I have read the following rules, designed to promote the health and safety of all event participants, and have indicated my complete acceptance by my signature and that of my parent/guardian.
• I will not possess, consume, or distribute alcoholic beverages. I will not possess, use, or distribute any illegal drug or drug paraphernalia.
• I will not smoke, consume or distribute tobacco products.
• I will attend and participate fully in the entire event, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Youth Director. I will arrive on time, stay until the end, and remain on the event premises at all times.
• I will not commit any illegal act. I understand that vandalism, disturbing the peace, or other
inappropriate behavior as determined by the adult leadership will not be tolerated. I understand that I will have to pay for any damage that I cause. I understand that no gambling is allowed, except for fundraisers approved by the adult leadership.
• I understand that no guests are allowed at any event, unless adult leadership grants advanced permission, and that any unauthorized guests will be asked to leave immediately.
• I agree to refrain from inappropriate sexual behavior. I will not participate in any activities that could be deemed as hazing, sexually harassing, demeaning, or hurtful.
• I agree to abide by any additional rules, pertinent to a specific event, which may be announced and to accept the consequences of their violation.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE RULES OF BEHAVIOR APPLY FROM THE TIME I LEAVE HOME FOR THE EVENT, DURING THE EVENT ITSELF, AND UNTIL I RETURN HOME AFTER THE EVENT.
We have read the preceding rules and fully understand them. We understand that sanctions imposed by the Youth Director for violation could include immediate expulsion from the event no matter what the hour, be it night or day, and at the expense of the parent or guardian.
