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.

Should a school official, law enforcement agency or Youth Leadership Program authority suspect a Youth Leadership participant of illegal or illicit drug use, possession, or association, he/she will be subject to disciplinary action. 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.
