All students are expected to attend all scheduled activities
of the program. Absences will be dealt with on an individual
basis with school personnel.
Course Credit
Individual schools may offer 1/4 credit. Check with
your school administration.
Dress Code
The dress, grooming, and manners of individual members
reflect the general climate of any organization; therefore,
participants of the CCYC program are expected to wear
appropriate clothing (business casual) and to present
a neat appearance when participating in the program.
Moderation in type and style of clothing should be the
basic standard.
Benefits of Participation
A reception will be held to celebrate the participants’
success and will include parents and other family members.
Participants in the program will be able to apply what
they have learned in their schools and communities.
Course credit may be available at participating schools.
Transportation
Each school will be responsible for the transportation
need of the participants.
