Any such relationship will arise only where LVCDI expressly accepts or confirms it in accordance with its applicable procedures.
3.1 LVCDI’s programmes may include leadership and personal development, mentorship, education and career development, practical skills development, talent and creative development, community and social development, camps, workshops, outreach activities and other youth-focused experiences.

3.3 Participation in an LVCDI programme does not guarantee any particular educational, career, personal, financial, health, leadership or other outcome.

Donations may be processed through third-party payment providers and may be subject to those providers’ terms and privacy notices.
