1. Liability Waiver and Indemnification

As a participant in this program, I (and my parent/legal guardian, if applicable) agree to the following:

  • Indemnification: I agree to indemnify and hold harmless WCEO, GO-YCA, and their respective directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising from my participation, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

  • Third-Party Acts: I acknowledge that the organizers are not responsible for the acts, errors, or omissions of third parties conducting activities on their behalf.

  • Insurance & Medical Costs: I understand that I am responsible for obtaining my own health and accident insurance. I agree to bear all costs arising from any accidents or medical emergencies.

  • Emergency Authorization: In the event of a medical emergency where I (or my guardian) cannot be reached, I authorize WCEO to seek necessary medical treatment and transportation.

2. Participant Commitment and Conduct

  • Professional Training Nature: I acknowledge that this is a high-intensity, professional training program, not a recreational camp. I commit to demonstrating resilience, accepting guidance, and completing all evaluations.

  • Continuous Engagement: I understand that the initial training is foundational, and I am willing to participate in subsequent immersive programs, online courses, and local chapter activities.

  • Code of Conduct: I agree to follow all safety guidelines and behavioral standards. I understand that behavior compromising the program’s safety, reputation, or integrity may result in immediate dismissal without a refund.

By participating in the GO-YCA programs, I grant WCEO the right to capture, use, and distribute photographs, audio, and video recordings of me for promotional and organizational purposes (including websites and social media).

  • No Compensation: I understand that I will receive no royalties or compensation for the use of these materials.

  • Waiver of Approval: I waive the right to inspect or approve the final content in which my likeness appears.

  • Withdrawal: To withdraw consent, I must contact WCEO in writing; WCEO will make reasonable efforts to comply regarding future materials.
