There is a 1:8 (Adult:Youth) requirement with a minimum of two adults per group.  All adult chaperones (leaders/volunteers) must be over the age of 21 and be Safe Environment compliant. 

How do I become Safe Environment compliant?
All participants 18 y.o. or older must complete a background check by completing this form (Spanish) and returning to their parish/school.

Volunteers are required to fulfill Safe Environment training in one of two ways:

1. by completing an online video tutorial called Safer Spaces. Download these instructions  to register and take the 45-minute training. Upon completion, please download your certificate and bring it to the designated Safe Environment Officer at your parish office or school.
2. by coordinating with the designated Safe Environment Officer at your parish or school to watch the Safer Spaces video at the parish and sign the associated forms. (This option is easier for multiple adults to complete the process at one time.)

 
Parish Safe Environment Compliance Form: Please fill out this form stating that all participating adults are in compliance with the Safe Environment policies for the Archdiocese of New York and have it signed by the pastor/principal, or the designated Safe Environment Officer.
