Code of Conduct for Dragutante
The purpose of Dragutante is to provide a safe stage upon which children under the age of eighteen can express themselves through the performance art of Drag. Every participant, together with staff, volunteers and parents, contributes to the success of this program. Below is an outline of expectations that we ask of all participants, their parents/guardians and program staff.
I, ______________________________________________
(Participant legal name) agree to meet these program expectations:
- Treat my fellow participants and staff with respect.
- Plan ahead so that I can arrive on time and participate in all activities.
- Follow staff, volunteer and guest instructions and raise concerns privately, respectfully and directly to a member of the Dragutante Admin.
- Share the #Dragutante and @Dragutante tags when I am posting on social media to uplift and promote the organization which I agree to represent in a positive manner which is appropriate for children under the age of eighteen.
- Send photos of my performances and accomplishments to Dragutante@gmail.com with the intent of Dragutante sharing my image on social media.
- Tips will always be collected by the Dragutante staff and distributed to performers after the event. Attempts to disregard this policy will not be tolerated.
- Agree that after the age of eighteen is reached, Dragutante is in no way obliged to promote or allow my child/myself to perform, and that it is up to the discretion of the board to allow/decline stage appearances in connection with Dragutante. I understand that participation/association with Dragutante is a privilege and as such, may be revoked at any time by any member of the Dragutante board effective immediately.
- Volunteer my time for at least one Dragutante fundraiser or Pride event for one year post event.
The following may result in being dismissed from the program:
- Bullying, taunting, harassing or using derogatory language towards another person or group of people either in person or on social media.
- Touching a peer or adult in a physically or sexually aggressive manner.

What are the consequences if I do not meet expectations of the program?
- Some behaviors may result in immediate suspension or termination which will be determined at the discretion of the Dragutante Board.
As the parent/guardian I will support my child’s participation in this program by:
- Making arrangements so my child is able to attend as many Dragutante events as possible.
