All of our live sessions are taught by high school volunteers who have experience working with kids and high-achieving academic & community service qualifications. Before the Zoom session, parents give their digital signature with a consent form to allow for the use of cameras and microphone, in order to ensure the safety of both our students and mentors. None of the sessions are recorded (so there is not a privacy issue). We ask that you fill out this consent form and liability waiver as well when you first participate in the Covid NineTEEN Project programming.
