    Youth safety

    Staff and volunteers who work with youth have completed background checks and mandated reporter training. Youth helping at a booth are supervised by an adult from their program at all times. No photos or videos of youth are taken or posted without written parent or guardian permission. Vendors collect only the contact information families choose to share.

    Gift certificates and sales

    Every gift certificate lists the provider, the service, its value, how to redeem it, and an expiration date. Refund and cancellation terms are posted at the booth and printed on receipts. EFA-approved providers explain that EFA funds are spent through ClassWallet for an enrolled student and cannot be used as gift money. Sponsor a Seat spots are honored exactly as donated.

    Market conduct

    Vendors arrive during the 9:00 to 9:45 AM setup window and stay until the 2:00 PM close. Booth materials are family friendly and age appropriate. No sale of tobacco, vape, alcohol, or cannabis products, or related advertising. Vendors leave their space clean.
