Youth Protection for Volunteers in all Rotary Youth Programs

 

Youth Protection in Rotary District 5150

Thank you for your commitment to helping Rotary keep youth safe! Rotary International has established comprehensive guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of youth involved in Rotary programs. These guidelines apply to all Rotarians, Rotarian partners, and volunteers who may have any contact with youth in a Rotary context.

The requirements vary based on the level of contact a Rotarian has with young people in any of our programs. Below are the details for both direct and incidental contact scenarios.


Youth Protection Certification (YPC) for Those Working Directly with Youth

Who Needs YPC?
Youth Protection Certification (YPC) is mandatory for all Rotarians who have substantial involvement with youth under the age of 18. This includes regular interaction through programs such as:

  • Interact

  • RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards)

  • Youth Exchange

  • Any Rotary Club-sponsored activity involving overnight accommodations.

YPC Requirements:
To become Youth Protection Certified, Rotarians must complete the following four steps:

  1. Volunteer Application – Submit an application listing three non-Rotarian references. (Application is considered complete only after all references respond.)

  2. Online Youth Protection Awareness Course – A 30-40 minute training module on youth safety.

  3. 10-Minute Interview – A brief interview with a District 5150 Youth Protection Coordinator. This can be done in person, by phone, or via videoconference.

  4. LiveScan Fingerprinting – Fingerprint submission through the LiveScan process.


For Rotarians with Incidental Contact with Youth

What is Incidental Contact?
Incidental contact refers to casual or passing interaction with youth while participating in a Rotary event or program where youth are present. It does not include one-on-one private contact or direct communication with a young person.

Requirements and Recommendations:

  • Required: Completion of the online Youth Protection Awareness Course.

  • Recommended: LiveScan fingerprinting is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.


Getting Started or Verifying Your Status

To begin, continue, or verify your status in the youth protection process, please contact:

  • David Dye – District Youth Protection Officer

  • Janette Rabin – Assistant Youth Protection Officer

  • Matteo Rizzo – Youth Protection Coordinator
