Photography Release:
When you participate in AYP programs and events, there is a high possibility of being photographed and/or filmed and your picture may be used for promotional purposes on our website, social media, and other places. We will make every effort to talk to youth about this before, during, and after the event so they have a say in whether or not it is used.
