Participant Enrollment Contract

I understand VISIONS mission and that I will be asked to put the group’s needs ahead of my own. I understand that by participating, I am an ambassador for VISIONS and will seek to build friendships, uphold an ethic of service and goodwill. I understand that VISIONS has zero tolerance rules regarding alcohol and drugs, and intimate relationships, and that choosing to break such a rule will result in dismissal from the program and forfeiting service credits. I understand that safe, considerate conduct and respect for program policies are essential. I also know that I will be living and working in the public eye, and appropriate behavior, language, and clothing are necessary. I agree to assume responsibility for my conduct, to participate with a positive attitude and to do my part to create a productive experience.
