House Rules

The basic house rules are:

No Hate.
No Violence.
No Drugs.
RESPECT. (yourself and The Hub).

Everyone who comes inside The Bristol Hub signs a promise that says:

I understand that a lot of people wanted me to have a nice teen center so they gave money and donated things to make The Hub, then got Jim, Dawn, and Ryan to run it (the staff).

Jim, Dawn, and Ryan promise to make The Hub a safe place to hang out in, and to make it better and better all the time. To do that they made this agreement that helps me understand what the rules are at The Hub.

To come to The Hub I have to make a promise to help keep it a safe and comfortable place.

By signing this paper, I promise that I will:

Always respect the building and the people and things in it;

I will never threaten or cause violence to anyone and will never purposefully hurt someone else’s feelings;

I will never throw anything inside the building;

I will never use hate speech (“nigger,” “fag,” “spic,” and words like them);

I will never steal anything from anybody or The Hub;

I will never damage The Hub or Recreation Field or act like I might damage it;

I will pick up my own messes and clean the plates and cups that I use;

I will always get permission and sign-out the Hub things that I want to borrow and will return them or have to replace them;

I will never smoke cigarettes, do drugs or have alcohol on the Recreation Field property, which I know is everything inside the fence, including The Hub, the skatepark, Big Red, the skating rink, dugouts, and ball fields;

I will ALWAYS listen to the Hub’s staff the first time they say or ask anything and understand that whatever they say is the rule because they run it;

I understand really clearly that if I break any part of this promise I will lose the privilege of coming into the Hub or onto the Recreation Field, including the skatepark, Big Red, and the skating rink. I understand that Jim, Dawn, and Ryan really mean it and will actually not let me in if break this promise.
