4. No weapons or fighting.
5. No smoking, drugs, alcohol or gambling.
6. Use appropriate language.
7. Clean up after yourself. Throw away trash. Cans and recycling are to go in properly designated receptacles. Excessive trash from snacks may result in limited snacks.
8. Participants are responsible for informing LIFT staff and volunteers if they require transportation. They are also responsible for being on time for pickup.

Being involved in LIFT programs is a privilege. Members are expected to exhibit good behavior and follow all rules made by staff and volunteers.

LIFT enforces a three-strike policy to provide youth with ample opportunity to correct any discouraged or disruptive behavior:

FIRST OFFENSE: Failure to exhibit good behavior will result in a verbal warning.
SECOND OFFENSE: Parent/Guardian will be notified by letter that any additional offenses will result in loss of program privileges.
THIRD OFFENSE: Loss of LIFT programs and privileges for the year.
