About Us

The Grove offers, sponsors and co-sponsors several programs such as speaker series, hands-on workshops, seminars, and one-on-one mentoring in order to develop the unique personality, talents, and spiritual life of each person.

Youth Policy

The Grove Cultural Center is dedicated to providing a safe educational environment for those who participate in its activities, especially all minors. It does not tolerate any sexual or physical abuse on the part of staff, volunteers, or participants, including behavior that is objectively intimidating, either physically or verbally. Also, staff and volunteers do not provide any illegal substances to the students nor permit their use. Every adult volunteer commits to follow a set of behavioral guidelines. Staff overseeing the programs, chaperones of overnight events, and those counseling minors submit to a background check and complete Safe Environment Training. If you are aware of any abusive behavior, please report it immediately to the Director of the activity. The Director of the activity in conjunction with the Center’s 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.
