Youth Protection - Mandatory Training

Any Authorized Adult, including the Program Administrator, is required to receive training in the Code of Conduct and Reporting Obligations prior to participating in activities related to the covered program.

The training covers mandatory reporting obligations and how to report known or suspected abuse of a child. Most importantly, the training identifies behaviors that are and are not appropriate when working with minors and calls out red flags for predatory conduct and abuse. Awareness of these issues can be a powerful tool to prevent abuse from occurring.

The training is provided by YPPS and can be done in-person or online. The multiple options for how an Authorized Adult can receive the training are listed below.
