Service Organization Training

I understand and agree that I will be referring Participants from my organization, agency, or institution to receive cultural enrichment experiences from Artist Facilitators working as Independent Contractors to the Military Arts Connection (MAC) program. I understand and agree that my referrals will be made possible through the allocation of free electronic credits provided to my organization, agency, or institution by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (Cultural Office), and may be used at my discretion solely for the benefit of service members, veterans and military dependents Participants residing in the Pikes Peak region (El Paso and Teller Counties, Colorado). I understand and agree to refer only Participants to the MAC program who are mentally and emotional stable enough to engage in, and benefit from, the intended cultural enrichment experiences.

While the Artist Facilitators in the MAC program will all receive at least four hours of Military Cultural Competency training prior to providing any services, I understand and acknowledge that the Artist Facilitators will likely not be certified Creative Arts Therapists, and that the services they will provide through the MAC program shall be solely for cultural enrichment and education purposes, and shall not be advertised, considered, promoted, provided, or intended as therapy or medical treatment. I also understand and acknowledged that the Artist Facilitators are agreeing to keep private and confidential all names and details of their engagements and interactions with MAC program Participants, unless expressly permitted to be disclosed per a signed writing by the applicable program Participant.

On behalf of and as duly authorized by my organization, agency, or institution, I hereby release and forever discharge the Cultural Office and its MAC program partners, inclusive of their trustees, directors, officers, equity stakeholders, representatives, successors, assigns, agents, and employees, from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action, of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, arising from, or in any way connected with the referral of any Participant to the MAC program.
