Program Policies
Last updated September 29, 2026· v1.0
1. Voluntary participation
Participation in any Foundation program is voluntary. Participants may withdraw at any time. The Foundation may modify, pause, or discontinue a program with notice.
2. Eligibility
Some programs have eligibility criteria based on military affiliation, age, geography, or role (see Emerging Leaders and YP Committee for age-specific criteria). Providing false eligibility information voids participation.
3. Assumption of risk
Recreational, physical, and outdoor programs carry inherent risk. Participants may be asked to sign an assumption-of-risk waiver, provide emergency contact information, and attest to fitness for the activity.
4. Photos and media
The Foundation may photograph and film program activities for reporting and outreach. Program-specific opt-outs are honored where feasible; blanket removal from all Foundation media is available on request.
5. Conduct
The Community Guidelines and Acceptable Use Policy apply to every program interaction.
6. Outcomes disclaimer
Participation does not guarantee employment, education, benefits, mental-health, or any other specific outcome. See the Resources Disclaimer.
7. Removal
The Foundation may remove any participant from a program for safety concerns, conduct issues, misrepresentation, or at the Foundation’s discretion. See the Terms of Service.
