The Youth Leadership Fond du Lac (YLF) Program is committed to providing a safe learning experience for its participants and adheres to a zero-tolerance policy for substance abuse.

This action may include a meeting with the participant, parents, and school officials. Dismissal from the Youth Leadership Program may occur.

Any behavior that leads to a student being expelled from school will result in dismissal from the program.

I, the Youth Leadership Fond du Lac Applicant, acknowledge that I have received and read the above drug, alcohol, and expulsion policy and that I agree to abide by its terms.
