Safe Environment

Reston Study Center is dedicated to providing a safe educational environment for those who participate in its activities, especially all minors.  We do not tolerate any physical or sexual abuse on the part of staff, volunteers, or participants, including behavior that is objectively intimidating, physically or verbally.  Also, staff and volunteers do not provide any illegal substances to the students nor permit their use. Every adult staff or volunteer submits to a background check and commits to follow a set of behavioral guidelines (available here).  If someone is aware of any abusive behavior please report it immediately to the Director of the center. The director in conjunction with the Reston Study Center board will promptly investigate and resolve any such complaints or reports. When necessary the Director will inform the Directors of the Prelature of Opus Dei.
