Note: All volunteers must complete a volunteer application and be approved to serve prior to their involvement in Magnify ministries involving children under 18 years of age (herein referred to simply as “students”). Transportation We understand that adults (age 18 and over) may drive students to and from activities. However... All Magnify transportation requires written parental permission for students under 18. (A Magnify Medical form on file is sufficient). No high school drivers may transport students. (Exception: Special arrangements may be made DIRECTLY with parents in writing for a specific purpose). ALL drivers of Magnify vehicles (i.e. vans) MUST be at least 25 years old. Driving alone with the opposite gender should be avoided at all times. All transportation of students assumes the driver of the vehicle has a valid driver’s license, appropriate insurance, properly maintained vehicle, and agrees to drive in a safe manner, including stopping when tired. Small Group Leadership All student small group leaders must have completed a Magnify Volunteer Application and been approved to serve. Volunteers must be a regular attendee of Magnify for at least six months. Junior high groups must have two approved volunteers. If one of the volunteers is in senior high, they may be no less than two grades older than students in their group. A volunteer may not date a student. Intimate or suggestive physical contact is always inappropriate. It is acceptable for a volunteer to take one of his/her group members individually for an activity, but parental approval must be obtained beforehand. Any and all guidelines given by the parent must be followed, such as location, nature of the activity. Emergency contact numbers should also be communicated. Sleep-Over’s The two approved, unrelated adults rule must be followed. As long as any students are awake, one of the volunteers must also be awake to ensure monitoring of safe behavior. Separate sleeping quarters must be designated for males and females with appropriate leadership. Appropriate modest sleeping attire must be worn. Parental notification and approval is needed for all sleep-over’s. Note: Signed permission slips must be obtained from the parents of all junior high students and younger. Volunteers should check with parents and use good judgment regarding movies, etc. Tools like screenit.com and pluggedin.com are recommended in addition to careful previewing. Personal Conduct I understand the bathroom policies and the “always two approved, unrelated adults rule”. I understand that ministry leaders need to know if I am going to be absent or unable to serve, I will talk to them or call them beforehand. I understand that I am expected to treat others as Jesus would treat them if He were in my place. We never spank or physically strike a student and we never speak harshly or shamefully. I understand that I am responsible for attending a worship service each week. My commitment to serving at Magnify will not replace my own worship and learning time. I understand there is to be no tickling, roughhousing, or lying on the floor with students. I understand I must attend ministry specific orientations and trainings (ie. B.Kids Huddles). I understand what is expected of me from this agreement. I am committed to doing my best to serve. Any sexual contact or sexualized behavior with a minor is a betrayal of sacred trust and is an exploitation of power which violates those who are vulnerable and absolutely will not be tolerated. Magnify is committed to investigate any and all allegations of misconduct either independently or in cooperation with a formal investigation that may include legal authorities. The alleged perpetrator will be asked to stop all ministry involvement throughout the time of the investigation until a decision is made.Name* First Last Signature (Child Protection Plan)*Statement of BeliefsPlease review the statement of belief at https://magnifychurch.org/what-we-believe/ & additional belief statements herein.
