In general, most parents say they have concerns and those are usually adequately addressed after the parents have a discussion with the director.  You may see written on the application: "WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO OUR SON/DAUGHTER PARTICIPATING, BUT WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING RESERVATIONS THAT WE SIMPLY WANT TO MAKE RELIANT AWARE OF"....... and that usually follows with a question or concern from the parent. Reliant will then send an email to the director to ask that the director follow up with the parent to discuss and seek to resolve the reservations/concerns.

Conditionally Accepted with Parental Concerns:

Hello!

Thank you for applying to the ___LT program administrated by Reliant. At this point, you should have received a general acceptance email from the ___ LT program.

We appreciate the fact that you were open and even willing to meet and discuss your parental concerns with your local pastor or spiritual reference.  We are thankful that you along with your LT directors have expressed commitment to agreeing to the following three conditions to help ease those concerns given by your parents.   

  1. Calling someone if feeling tired while driving on the commute. Create a list so he knows who to call first and make those on his list aware of his commuting times.
  2. Having a LT staffer ask weekly about his energy level and hold him accountable.
  3. We highly recommend that Alex follow his parents request for him to consider spending a night at home in Saginaw weekly.

Therefore, we want to inform you that Reliant is conditionally accepting you into the LT program with full knowledge of these concerns knowing that your in agreement with these three things as a “condition” for your ongoing participation in the Michigan LT Program. Conditional acceptance means that Reliant reserves the right to continue to monitor your situation, make suggestions, and even make the recommendation to lower your involvement with the program if necessary.   Reliant reserves the right, in cooperation with New Life Church, to withdrawn you from the LT program if we see the commute negatively affecting you or your safety.  If the LT director feels that you are not following the conditions agree upon above, and therefore potentially compromising your safety (which is first and foremost). 

We encourage you to please ask for help and accountability this summer.  Please be open with your friends, Reliant missionaries attending the program with you, and your LT program leaders. If you have any questions along the way please don’t hesitate to ask. We pray that you will see God do amazing things in your life this summer.

titleParent/Guardian Notification Form

Parent/Guardian Notification Form

  • If the participant is under 18 a parental notification form is required. The parents will also have to fill out and sign both the medical disclosure and the liability waiver. 
  • If the student is over 18, but under 21 and still financially dependent on their parents/guardians the parental notification form and packet will be sent to their parents/guardians.  
  • If the participant is over 21 they do not need a parental notification form and no email will be sent to the parents.  You will see it say this on their application: PARENTAL NOTIFICATION FORM NOT NEEDED-OVER 21.
  • Also, if the participant answers the questions on their application as YES to over 18, NO to parents claiming on taxes and NO to parents financially support me they are considered completely financially independent from their parents and they will not need a parental notification form and no email is sent to their parents.  You will see it say this on their application: PARENTAL NOTIFICATION FORM NOT NEEDED- FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.


Info
Why do we do the parent/guardian notification form? We have set up the 21 age not for legal reasons, but as a goodwill gesture towards the parents.  We want to make sure that at this time in their life where they can still be dependent on parents for schooling, etc. that we have received the parents blessing for them to spend their summer at our training. We want to make sure that the parents are supportive and behind the decision and not surprised when the student informs their parents where they are headed for the summer.  We just wanted to make sure the parents have been informed and are ok with the decision.  We picked 21 as age because they are mostly still in school until then and still under the support of the parent.  There is a place on the application for the student to say they are no longer supported in any way financially by the parent and if they choose that then the parent is not contacted for consent and their consent is not needed to complete the application.
