Student Agreement: 

As a participant of the Youth Summit, I agree to have fun, give my best, do what I can do to enhance the summit for
myself and for all the other participants, and abide by the following Code of Conduct: 

1. I agree to abide by the rules and regulations for the Youth Summit.

4. I understand that there will be no tobacco use, in any form during the summit.

6. I understand that illegal substances of any kind (including alcohol, nicotine/vapes, and marijuana) are not tolerated at the summit because they are destructive to the group and individual. Any participant under the influence or in possession of alcohol and/or other drugs will be immediately removed from the summit.  

If your agreement to the Code of Conduct is faulted, you will be dealt with in accordance with the following consequences: 

1. While hearsay alone cannot lead to immediate suspension, it will lead to an investigation. 

2. Upon the determination that a violation has been committed, the participant will be sent home immediately at his/her expense. 

3. In the event that a participant is knowingly found to be or admits to having been in the presence of a participant in violation of the above stated policy, disciplinary action will be taken at the discretion of the summit staff.  

I have read and understand the Summit Code of Conduct and consequences of the Youth Summit. I will adhere to them and realize that a violation of these rules may result in my being sent home early (at my own expense).
