Permission/Waiver
Youth can add their signature via e-sign and send it to their parents to add their signature to the permission slip.
Those above the age of 18 can sign the waiver for themselves.

All volunteers are required to complete waivers/permission slips in order to to be able to sign up for service events.
If a parent has not signed a permission slip/waiver and a participant tries to sign up for a service event, they will see that their waiver is pending.
Youth Volunteers can head to their Profiles > Qualifications > and resend the email to their parents to sign the waiver.
Alternatively, youth participants can turn in paper permission slips to register@youthcommunityservice.org to get uploaded to their profile.
