Sherlake Cultural Center is dedicated to providing a safe educational environment for those who participate in its activities, especially all minors. It does not tolerate any sexual or physical abuse on the part of staff, volunteers, or participants, including behavior that is objectively intimidating, either physically or verbally.

 

Also, staff and volunteers do not provide any illegal substances to the students nor permit their use. Every adult volunteer commits to follow a set of behavioral guidelines. 

 

Staff overseeing the programs, chaperones of overnight events, and those counseling minors submit to a background check and complete Safe Environment Training.

 

Anyone who knows or reasonably suspects that a minor has been abused in connection with any of Sherlake’s activities must immediately inform the Activity Director or call the Prelature’s reporting Helpline, (646) 742-2741.
