Working with Minors Training
All students and student groups working with children/minors (any person under the age of 18) must meet several requirements designed to protect the youth and Stanford students alike. The Office of Student Engagement guides voluntary student organizations through University policies for working with minors, including background checks and training. Basic information about those requirements and links to resources are provided on this page.
