Working with Youth

Guidelines for Programs Involving Youth*

*youth refers to persons under the age of 18

The University promotes and engages in many programs, events and activities that involve youth. Whenever possible, the responsibility for supervising youth should be placed with the parents, school districts or other organizations associated with bringing the youth to campus. When the University assumes the responsibility for supervising youth, the following requirements apply.

Registration

All campus programs involving youth must register with the Office of Risk Management by completing the Youth Program Registration form.

Forms

The forms required for youth programs include: 

Guidelines

The campus Guidelines for Working with Youth (PDF) are offered to assist departments with practices to aid in minimizing risks to youth and should be reviewed by all employees, students and volunteers who assist with the activity.

Background Checks

Background checks are required for all employees and volunteers who have regular or direct contact with youth. Regular contact is defined as a volunteer who is 18 years of age or older and who has direct contact with, or supervision of, youth for more than 16 hours per month or 32 hours per year. Direct contact is defined as working alone and unsupervised with youth, which should be rare, and Risk Management should be consulted. For more information, visit the Human Resources website.  

Youth Protection Training

Employees, students and volunteers who work with youth must complete one of the four trainings available in CSU Learn. There is a Working with Youth curriculum which contains four trainings for you to choose from. The estimated completion time for each training is 30 minutes.

  • Keeping Your Day Camp Safe
  • Keeping Your Higher Education Program Safe 
  • Preventing Bullying in Youth Organizations 
  • Preventing Sexual Activity Between Young Children 

Employees and volunteers who are deemed General Reporters (includes CSU employees who staff summer camps, workshops and clinics open to minors, including athletic camps, that take place on a CSU campus or are operated by the CSU) are required to complete Mandated Reporting Training. For further guidance please reference Attachment B in Executive Order 1083 (PDF) and https://www.csuchico.edu/hr/employee-rights/mandatory-reporting.shtml. 

Additionally, all employees, students and volunteers who work with youth are strongly encouraged to complete Mandated Reporter Training.
