Students accepted into the program will be charged a $250 tuition fee. Tuition covers all fees associated with the program, including meals, transportation, materials, and any accommodations for the retreat. All other program costs will be covered through sponsorships.

For those who need financial assistance, scholarships are available. Students requesting financial assistance are asked to complete the scholarship application/request form within the original program application.

Students are required to provide their own transportation to the designated starting location each month. YLEC will provide busing throughout the program days for additional stops. Students will be dropped back off at the starting location and dismissed there at the end of the program day.

Participants are required to attend all program days. Attendance will be taken and reported back to the high schools. The superintendents of the participating schools have approved all program session days as excused school absences.
