PDG John Reyes started and led the District Youth Protection Committee for several years. He and the committee wrote, and are an integral part of ensuring that clubs follow, the Youth Protection guidelines. This also includes making sure that all of our members take the youth protection awareness training.
By reviewing real-life scenarios, John aimed to illustrate the potential risks and challenges clubs might face, emphasizing the importance of strict adherence to these guidelines. You can find the guidelines and best practices by clicking here.
Rotary International strives to create and maintain a safe environment for all youth who participate in Rotary activities. To the best of their ability, Rotary members, their partners, and other volunteers must safeguard children and young people with whom they come into contact and protect them from physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.Since our Club participates in and supports many Youth programs, all RC of Akron members must complete the online Youth Protection Awareness Training. A custom/unique link will be sent to you from our YPO Chair.
Our Club is currently working through this process, so watch your emails and when this link arrives be sure to complete the survey in a timely manner. Failure to do this training may result in your inability to participate in some meetings and programs, including service projects.
This youth protection survey will need to be taken annually by all club members.
