    • Student Media Consent Agreement

    At Global Youth Leaders (GYL), we believe that responsible use of digital media can enhance our community and support teaching and learning. We want to enable our use of digital media for these purposes, while also giving parents and students choice. We also aim to teach our students digital citizenship. Our students should understand the benefits and risks of online publication and develop a strong ability to exercise judgement about whether to participate in a photo opportunity.[1]

    We are asking for a consent that allows your child to participate in our digital media activities in ways that we deem to be age appropriate and that are supportive of our community.

    • Your consent is completely optional.

    If you do consent, photos/videos/audio recordings of your child and/or first name (only) may appear in digital media accessible to our community alone or the public at large – e.g., on social media and internet sites that we control and do not control. Consent will support our use of imagery and audio in: GYL electronic/paper pamphlets, website, newsletters, audio/photo/video projects on social media applications/platforms.

    Even with your consent, your child can always opt out of participating in a photo opportunity.

    If you do not consent, we will rely on you to counsel your child to exclude themselves from photo opportunities and rely on your child to exercise their judgement. We will support the exercise of judgement by providing all students with information and instruction about digital citizenship and information about the purpose of our photo opportunities.

    We will also entertain any requests for removal of images from digital media that we control.

    [1] This agreement does not govern student use of digital media and posting audio and video of other students online.

    Yes. GYL may use and publish photos/videos/audio recordings of my child and/or their first name which may appear in digital media accessible to our community alone or the public at large for the above-stated PurposeNo. I do not consent. I will counsel my child to exclude themselves from photo opportunities.

      I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT AND I AM AWARE THAT, BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I AM WAIVING CERTAIN SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH MY MINOR CHILD/WARD, HIS/HER HEIRS, NEXT OF KIN, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS AND I MAY HAVE AGAINST THE RELEASEES.
