34.I understand that while this is meant to be a mutually rich experience, it’s important to be conscientious about what I share with my inspiration about my own personal struggles.

37.As part of an ongoing effort to strengthen the impact of our programs, we may collect and analyze participant responses to program applications and evaluations. When analyzing responses, we are interested in trends in our data, rather than the responses of any particular person, and therefore responses will be de-identified for the purpose of data analysis. If you prefer that your responses not be included in data analyses, please check below. Please select Yes if you wish to include your de-identified responses and select No if you wish to not include your responses in future studies.
38.I understand that although this is an opportunity for exposure, the connection with my inspiration and the sacredness of their story is the priority.  So I pledge to not disrespect these boundaries by introducing a sales element into the relationship.
