Parental Expectations
• Parents need to take into consideration the amount of time and effort that the advisors put into the program to assure that our children are able to participate in every event scheduled on the State, District and Local levels.
• Parents need to understand that our youth are learning by our example and we all should ALWAYS try to act accordingly.
• Parents need to understand that the advisors are trying to help the youth grow as responsible and respectable Greek Orthodox Christians.
• Parents need to realize that the advisors are reasonable and caring people who are trying to make things fair for all GOYAN’s.
• Parents need to understand that the success of our program depends on not only your help, but your support of all events
• Parents need to help the officers and advisors with communication by making phone calls to check details rather then wait to be called.
• Parents need to realize that their children don’t need to participate in all of our activities. Parents along with their children must sometimes make choices as to what all your schedules can handle.
• Parents need to find productive, positive ideas to help solve problems or conflicts rather than negative complaints.
• Parents need to contact the priest or advisors first if a situation needs discussion.
