Code of Ethical Conduct for Minors

The Archdiocese of St. Louis' Code of Ethical Conduct for Minors is a list of rules and guidelines that Youth Volunteers, grades 7 through the age of 18, are expected to follow when they volunteer with younger children.  Volunteers are asked to commit to this set of conduct rules by signing its accompanying form when they first volunteer.  Once the form has been signed, it is recorded and filed with the Parish Office's Child Safety Coordinator.  Once the form has been filed, the Youth Volunteer need not resubmit.  Any questions can be directed to Margie Eckert, IW Child Safety Coordinator, 314.576.5366x17 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
