Rules and Regulations/Smoking

Adult chaperones must be with youth at all times in the Tsongas center.  When youth leave the arena, they must be accompanied by at least TWO adult chaperones. Chaperones and teens must wear their conference wristbands at all times to ensure admittance into the venue.

Smoking Policy
Except for designated outside areas, all conference venues are smoke-free facilities. During the conference, we ask all participants, including adult chaperones, to refrain from smoking. The consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited during the weekend.

Prayer Ministry

First Line of Defense

Thank you for your yes to care for and minister to the youth at the Steubenville Youth Conference!

The group leader and adult chaperones are the primary ministers to the youth on the weekend. Please be sure to share all of this information with all adult chaperones and religious in your group.

The Team of Prayer Ministers

Prayer ministers wear lime green shirts.  Although they are available throughout the weekend, our full staff of prayer ministers are available on Friday and Saturday night and Sunday morning. They may approach you to ask if you need assistance. Feel free to approach a prayer minister for help.

Role of Prayer Ministry

The role of prayer ministry is to serve and support you and your chaperones by offering spiritual assistance to the youth in your group. Prayer ministry is an extension of the ministry done by the ministry team from the stage and by you as the group leader and chaperones. They can assist you if there are several youth that need attention or if there is a particular situation that you and your chaperones are unsure how to handle.

Remaining Present

If a prayer minister does assist your youth, it is ideal to have an adult chaperone from your group present to watch over and pray with them as well, as it is good for them to have a familiar person present. In addition, it is the adult chaperone who will be going home with the youth. Therefore, he or she can continue to pray for and with the youth at home if needed. If this is not possible, know that the prayer minister will encourage the youth and let them know that group leaders and chaperones are there for them if need be.

Emergencies/First Aid/Lost & Found

For emergencies 24 hours a day, call UMASS Lowell Police Department at 978-934-911. For less urgent matters, call UMASS Lowell Police Department’s non-emergency number at 978-934-2398 or see conference staff at the Information Desk in the Tsongas Center, located on the upper level – West Concourse. Families may leave messages by calling the group leader.

First Aid
For all medical needs, please go to the First-Aid Station located on the floor level of the Tsongas Center from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

If it’s after 10 p.m. or between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. and you can’t make it to the First-Aid Station, call 978-934-4911 for emergencies or 978-934-2398 for non-emergencies. Youth requiring first aid must be accompanied by an adult.  Medication requiring refrigeration should be checked in with the first-aid staff.

Lost & Found
Lost & Found is located at the Information Desk on the West Concourse. If you realize after the conference that you lost something in a dorm or cafeteria, please contact 978-934-3888. If the item was left on a bus or in the arena, please call  978-934-5536 or email jpatten@lifeteen.com All items must be claimed within two weeks or they will be donated. Participants are responsible for shipping costs.

Franciscan LEAD Participants

You will be onsite at 1 p.m. Friday. Make arrangements with your group leader on where and when to rejoin your group at the venue. Until your group arrives, we welcome your assistance with any last minute set-up details. Please check in at the Volunteer Check-In Table.
