Youth Event Participant Waiver
Activities with participants who are minors must be taken very seriously. There may be a difference in how the law treats commercial activities, and school-sponsored and community-related activities organized through uncompensated services of volunteers and their sponsoring organizations.
Parental authority in the context of a liability release on behalf of a minor is not evident and may vary from state to state.
