Liability Release
I understand and agree that I will be the one actually spending time with my Cadet and that I must exercise care in supervising him/her while we are together. I also understand that I am not a Challenge Academy employee, agent, and that I am responsible for choosing and conducting all activities with my Cadet and that the Challenge Academy does not retain any power to control how these activities are conducted except to require these activities to be conducted in the State of Wisconsin.

I therefore agree that the Challenge Academy, the National Guard Bureau, the State of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin National Guard, and their respective officers, officials, agents and employees (Released Parties) will not be liable for, and I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all liability, causes of action, and losses imposed on them in
any way relating to or arising out of this mentoring agreement, including, but not limited to, liability for personal injuries, whether the liability, cause of action, or loss is caused by my action or inaction or the actions of inactions of the Release Parties.

I further release the Released Parties from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action, whatsoever, arising out of any damage, loss, or injury I might sustain while participating in any activities pursuant to this mentoring agreement, whether such damage, loss, or injury is caused by the actions or inactions of the Release Parties.

Confidentiality Agreement
Confidentiality is the preservation of privileged information concerning the client, which is disclosed in a professional working relationship. Part of what you learn is necessary to provide services to the applicant or client; other information is shared within the development of a helping trusting relationship. Therefore, most information gained on an individual and
family is classified as confidential.

Before you begin your assignment as a mentor you should be aware of the laws and penalties of breaching confidentiality. Giving information to unauthorized personnel could be interpreted as not within the scope of your duties. In this case Challenge Academy could refuse to support you in the event of legal action. Violation of the Wisconsin Revised Statues regarding confidentiality of records is punishable upon conviction by imprisonment in county jail for not more than sixty (60) days, or fines of $1000, or both. My duties as a mentor are to abide by the laws and policies regarding the preservation of confidential information.
