All Rotarians are committed to ensuring that everyone engaged in our activities is safeguarding young people. It is everyone’s responsibility. Encourage those in your district, especially those directly responsible for, and engaged in our youth programs to take The Learning Center‘s “Protecting Youth Program Participants” course to help ensure the safety of young people at all Rotary events and programs. There, they will learn ways to prevent abuse and how to handle reports of abuse.

Topics include:

• Creating safe environments
• Youth Protection policies
• Appropriate and inappropriate behavior
• Recognizing potential abuse
• Reporting concerns
• Additional resources
