I will take full financial responsibility for costs inccured if my child needs to be sent home due to an emergency or misbehavior.

DOVE USA, a Pennsylvania nonprofit organization with offices at 11 Toll Gate Road, Lititz, PA 17543 runs its Evangelism Missions Training (EMT) in accordance with policies and values of DOVE USA. EMT occurs at Rosedale Grove, 1616 Vine Street, Laureldale, PA 19605.

We, the undersigned parent(s) or legal guardian(s) execute this Parental Release and Indemnification Agreement (Agreement) for and on behalf of the application-identified Child. We affirm that we hold legal status of parent or legal guardian of the Child. We understand that for the Child to participate in the EMT and outreach programs, all parents and legal guardians of the Child shall execute the Agreement.

We do hereby authorize drivers and personnel to transport the Child to and from EMT and outreach activities, as DOVE USA may elect to provide such transportation from time to time, although DOVE has no obligation whatsoever to provide such transportation. We agree that the Child will abide by the policies established by DOVE USA, and as enforced by DOVE USA in its sole discretion. We understand that activities such as those conducted at EMT and vehicular transportation to or from those activities are inherently risky, and pose the specific risks of serious bodily injury for participants, drivers and passengers.

Both for ourselves and on behalf of the Child, we hereby assume the risk of activities that we or the Child engages in with EMT including risks encountered in sports activities and transportation for such activites. We hereby release, discharge, and/or otherwise indemnify DOVE USA and affiliated sponsors and organizations, their employees, volunteers and associated personnel [including the owners of property and facilities utilized for the program], from and against any claim, loss or damages by or on behalf of us or the Child arising from the negligence of any DOVE personnel (including volunteers) or from our or the child’s participation in EMT activities or transportation.

We agree that to the extent we or the Child’s other parent(s) or legal guardian(s) is liable for any claim involving DOVE USA that we shall be held jointly and severally liable, together with the Child’s other parent(s) and legal guardian(s), for any liability arising from the Child’s participation in EMT activities or transportation.

We agree to assume full responsibility for any medical bills incurred, in the event any health insurance we have or do not have would fail to cover the full cost of treatment, transport, or other emergency service incurred for the Child. Should DOVE USA in its sole discretion determine that the Child must return home before the group for medical or disciplinary reasons, we hereby agree to assume any costs for such travel, including costs for meals and accommodations.

You will be placed on one of the following outreach teams based upon your answers below. Each team will have an outreach leader, who will coordinate the ministry you will do in Reading, and team leaders, who will lead you and your team in unity and growth in God throughout the outreach.

Here are the following four outreach options for 2020:
CREATIVE ARTS TEAM: This team will focus on doing creative evangelistic outreaches (ex. music, drama, art) throughout Reading, PA. The goal will be to share the love of Christ through the creative talents of the group. Applicants do not need to have experience in these areas, but they should have an interest in the creative arts and any experience is helpful.

KIDZ CAMP OUTREACH TEAM: This team will host a Kidz Camp (like a Vacation Bible School) at TransformChurch. The goal will be to share the love of Christ through an engaging and fun Bible school for the children of the community. Applicants should be willing to serve and love the children of Reading who will attend the Kidz Camp. Experience with childcare is not needed, but it is helpful.

SPORTS OUTREACH TEAM: This team will host a sports camp in the city of Reading. The goal will be to share the love of Christ through the athletic talents of the group with the youth of Reading, PA. Applicants do not need to be on athletic teams, but general athleticism is helpful.

SPIRIT-LED OUTREACH TEAM: This team will focus on hearing God’s voice and obedience! This team will not have a specific agenda, but will be simply given a budget to work with and the freedom to follow God. They will then spend the next four days in outreach around Reading, PA! Applicants should be flexible, willing to take risks, and ready to evangelize.

NOTE: DOVE USA will do the best they can to place you on your first or second choice outreach team, but you may need to serve elsewhere based upon availability and team limitations. You will be notified of your outreach team in late May.
