Standards and Guidelines

On December 28, 2009, the Network's Board of Directors approved the Standards and Guidelines for Professional Adults who work witn young people.

This document outlines the Network's expectations for mutual accountability in our professional development.


Next steps include:

  • The development of an implementation plan for these standards and guidelines
  • The creation of standards and guidelines for volunteers.
The Network is grateful to those who have worked on this project:
