Release – Leadership Council Members

Sweet Readers, Inc. (”The Charity”) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt public charity, founded in 2011 and based in Manhattan. Our mission is to empower young people through training, transformative programs and communities of support to revitalize adults living with Alzheimer’s and related disorders (AD) and become catalysts for excellence in eldercare. During our programs, young people are challenged to utilize science, human engagement and the arts to discover the person behind the disease and meaningfully connect.

The Sweet Readers Leadership Council’s (the “Council”) mission is to build and support Sweet Readers communities and educate the public about AD and brain health. We are delighted to welcome your child (my “Child”) to our Council and appreciate your support!

As part of participation in the Council, Young Leaders and Junior Leaders participate in several large group, small group and divisional Council meetings and may participate in training programs, multi-generational Sweet Readers programs and community engagement programs (the “Programs”) in partnership with our school, elder care, museum and/or community partners (the “Partners”).

I acknowledge and agree:

• In the interest of consistency, I will make best efforts to ensure my Child attends every session in the Program(s) for which he/she/they are signed up. If my Child is unable to attend any session, I will encourage my Child to notify the the Council Co-Presidents as soon as practicably possible.
• My Child is to the best of my knowledge, in good health to undertake the normal range of activities contemplated by the Programs. I also acknowledge that as a condition of participating in the Program, my Child possesses comprehensive medical/health insurance which will be in effect throughout my Child's participation in the Programs; and
• As a Council Member, my Child remains fully subject to the Partner's rules and regulations concerning my Child's conduct, including the right of the Charity to suspend, limit or terminate my Child's participation in the Programs for any reason the Charity deems proper.
• As part of my Child's participation in the Programs, my Child may be asked to fill out evaluations to support the Charity's ongoing efforts to improve the quality of their programming. These evaluations may also become part of a larger study of the impact of the Programs on participants. My Child agrees to answer the questions to the best of his/her/their knowledge and the Charity agrees not to publish my Child's last name in connection with the Programs without my prior written consent.
