1. Acknowledgment of Risk
I understand that participation in the Program may include physical activities, group exercises, travel, experiential challenges, discussions of a personal or emotional nature, and other activities designed to promote personal growth, self-awareness, leadership, and goal achievement. I understand that these activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to:

- Emotional or psychological discomfort arising from self-reflection, group discussion, or feedback exercises
- Risks associated with travel to and from Program locations
- Risks arising from interaction with other participants, facilitators, staff, or volunteers
- Risks that are unknown, unanticipated, or not readily foreseeable at this time
I voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks, known and unknown, and understand that this assumption of risk is a material part of the consideration for my (or my child’s) participation in the Program.
2. Release and Waiver of Liability
In consideration for being permitted to participate in the Program, I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue A Greater Good Foundation, its officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers, facilitators, contractors, and affiliated organizations (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me (or my child) while participating in the Program, or while on the premises where the Program is conducted, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Released Parties, where and to the extent such a limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
3. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or cost, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that they may incur due to my (or my child’s) participation in the Program, whether caused by my (or my child’s) negligence or otherwise.
4. Medical Treatment Authorization
In the event of illness or injury during the Program, I authorize A Greater Good Foundation staff to secure and consent to any necessary emergency medical treatment on my (or my child’s) behalf, and I agree to be financially responsible for any costs associated with such treatment. I have listed below any medical conditions, allergies, or medications that Program staff should be aware of.
5. Rules of Conduct
I agree to follow all rules, guidelines, and instructions provided by Program staff and understand that A Greater Good Foundation reserves the right to remove any participant from the Program for conduct that is unsafe, disruptive, or inconsistent with Program guidelines.
6. Severability and Governing Law
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
7. Acknowledgment
I have read this Agreement in its entirety, understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial legal rights by signing it, and sign it freely and voluntarily without any inducement.
