The Institute for Cultural Communicators is committed to providing safe and secure environments to promote the communication and leadership development of children and youth and to preventing any mistreatment of minors, including physical, emotional, or sexual behavior.
Guidelines are established for volunteers and staff working with children or youth in our quest to provide safe and healthy environments. These environments include digital and physical spaces. We believe the key to conducting safe programs lies in the quality of leadership. This extends to recruiting, vetting, training, and supporting all leaders in these roles.
Everyone in ICC’s global community who works with children is reminded of the instruction recorded in Matthew 18:1-10. Jesus is very clear that no one should harm children and issues a stern warning for anyone who does.
Whether you are a member of this community, pursuing community membership, or registered for a live event, more information about our guidelines – including our Child Safety Policy – is available to you.
We equip all leaders in the Institute to create safe environments for our students.
All adult volunteers complete Child Safety Training, consisting of safety videos and a quiz. Members will be informed and empowered to keep our students safe.
Background checks are required for all adults who attend chapter meetings and work with chapter students in the U.S.
Background checks from other organizations will not suffice for our purposes.
