Information on this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

2. Eligibility

Program participation is limited to youth and young adults ages 16–21, unless otherwise stated.

Individuals under the age of 18 may only submit applications, participate in programs, or engage in volunteer activities with the knowledge and consent of a parent or legal guardian. Additional written consent, waivers, and participation agreements will be required prior to participation.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the website and Services only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not:

  • Violate applicable laws or regulations
  • Infringe on the rights of others
  • Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm any person
  • Interfere with the operation or security of the website

LDYC reserves the right to restrict or terminate access for violations of these Terms.

4. Non-Clinical Services Disclaimer

LDYC provides non-clinical, non-medical, and non-therapeutic services only. Participation does not create a therapist-client, doctor-patient, or clinician-client relationship.

LDYC services are supportive and educational in nature and are not a substitute for licensed treatment, medical care, court-mandated services, or emergency services.

5. Program Participation & Services

Participation in LDYC programs, mentorship, workforce activities, or recovery-supportive services may require additional agreements, waivers, screening, or eligibility criteria in accordance with county, state, federal, or private funding requirements.

LDYC reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue programs or eligibility criteria as necessary to remain compliant with funding, regulatory, or organizational requirements.

6. User Submissions, Forms, & Applications

Submission of forms—including contact forms, youth program applications, volunteer sign-ups, or other interest forms—does not guarantee participation, placement, employment, or services.

Youth Applications (Ages 16–21)

Applicants under the age of 18 confirm that a parent or legal guardian is aware of and consents to the application. Additional written consent and waivers are required prior to participation.

Volunteer Sign-Ups

Volunteer participation does not guarantee placement. Volunteers may be required to complete screening, training, background checks, or additional documentation depending on role and applicable funding requirements.

Information submitted may be used for program administration and required grant, contract, or audit reporting in aggregated or de-identified form when required.

7. Donations
