All parents, church staff and volunteers involved with diocesan youth events need to be aware of the new policy adopted by Diocesan Council in June, and distributed to churches in the diocesan youth event packets mailed earlier this month.
In particular, please be aware that if children have not been picked up by parents, guardians or other designated responsible adults within 30 minutes of the announced completion of an event, the consequences will be a $25 per hour babysitting fee per child, starting at the event end time. If the delay in picking up the child(ren) is in excess of two (2) hours, the youth(s) will not be able to participate in diocesan youth events for the remainder of the program year.
If you have any questions, please contact Kaileen Alston, Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministires, 973-430-9991 or kalston@dioceseofnewark.org.
