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 is the primary office supporting students in identifying the aspects of the University's policies for working with minors that pertain to their service project, including background check and training.  Basic information about those requirements and links to resources are provided on this page.
