For Parents
The trust you place in us is guarded by written rules.
What your child will do
The first forty days consist of about an hour of daily practice — ordered worship, mastery of time and screen, physical training, reading, and work that is useful to others — accompanied by one circle meeting each week.
If they continue, the following year runs in a small circle of six with one mentor, twelve themes of life, and one real service project. The rhythm sits alongside study or work: around five to six hours a week.
How we safeguard them
- Mentors are trained and certified through 46 hours of preparation.
- Circles are separated by gender, each led by a mentor of the same gender.
- No closed one-to-one meetings between a mentor and a participant.
- No money ever passes from a participant to a mentor.
- Parents know the schedule and the reporting channel from day one.
- Serious cases are referred to professionals: psychologists, medical staff, or law enforcement.
Your rights
To ask, at any time, about the schedule, the content, and the person mentoring your child. And to report directly to the Ethics Council — without anyone's permission, anonymously if you wish.
Frequently asked questions
Does my child have to live in or leave their studies or job?
No. The programme runs alongside study or work: about an hour of daily practice and one circle meeting each week.
Is this a political organisation?
No. GAZ is not affiliated with any political party and is not used for electoral mobilisation.
Is there a fee?
The core programme is free or at cost. Ability to pay is never a selection filter.
What if we want our child to stop?
They may stop at any time without social penalty. It is written as an article in our constitution.
