2026 River of Life -  Youth Participation


Youth Participation Agreement

I understand that River of Life event leaders will assign me to a work team. Though I am willing to joyfully work on any team, I would prefer to be assigned to...

I also understand that River of Life is a unique event with adult leadership at many levels. I will respect all of the leaders from my church, participating churches, and the hosting church. I will behave in a Christian manner at all times. I will dress modestly and appropriately at all times. I will not bring electronic devices (this includes phones, gaming systems, computers, iPads). I understand that if I do not adhere to these policies I will be asked to change clothes or to turn over the electrical device for safe keeping with my church leader. I will not possess or use tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or firearms while at ROL. If these offenses are made, my parents will be notified along with the necessary authorities, and I will be removed from the ROL event at my parent’s expense.

Parent/Guardian Permission

I give my permission for my child to participate in the River of Life Mission Event on July 8-12, 2026. I understand my child will be assigned to a work team that will paint, re-roof, porch construction or other home repairs/improvements. In case of emergency, I realize every attempt will be made to contact me. In the event I cannot be reached, I hereby authorize the River of Life youth workers to sign for medical treatment for my child. I will not hold River of Life, the participating churches, the directors, or the youth workers liable for any injuries incurred by my child.

**This permission slip must be signed by a parent or guardian in order for a minor to attend a River of Life event. Also, by signing it you agree to support the agreements made above by the participant.

Emergency Permission & Health Form

I hereby give my permission for River of Life counselors to seek medical help for my child in any situation they deem to merit such help. I also give permission for medical and emergency response personnel, in my absence, to administer any treatment, including surgery, that they deem to be necessary during the time my child is en route to and from, and participating in, the River of Life event to be held with Milledgeville First Methodist Church on July 8-12, 2026.



My child has my permission to be assigned to a work team that will paint, roof, build and repair porches and do other home repairs and improvements. (Any type of work I have not approved has already been so noted on my child’s the Registration Form.) I will not hold River of Life, its directors, coordinators, host churches, participating churches, or counselors for any injuries incurred by my child. I will not allow my child to drive during the event. If they have their own vehicle present, I understand that their keys will be submitted to the director for safe keeping upon registration.
