Youth Protection Training, National Society, Sons of the American Revolution

Youth protection is best achieved through the focused commitment of everyone in the organization. It is the mission of the NSSAR Education Committee and Outreach Education to work within the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national, state society, and chapter events. The New Jersey Society requires that every member who participates in programs with any minors complete the fifteen-minute Youth Protection Quiz to earn the NSSAR Youth Protection Training Certificate of Completion.

Youth Protection Training (YPT) Compliance and the PG’s Education Outreach Streamer. One is for chapter Education Outreach Team Leader to use to track their internal status, one for the state Education Outreach Coordinator’s to track their chapters and one is for the National to track those chapters that have been reported by their states as earning the streamers. The fourth form is the one National is using for YPT Compliance Tracking. The intent was for this program to be managed at the lowest levels and associated with the establishment of Education Outreach Teams in the chapters. Chapters manage their compliance with the program and report to the state; states manage their chapters’ reports, consolidate and report that x of y chapters have complied to the Education Committee at National. The Education Committee tracks state compliance and reports to the PG via Leadership Meeting Reports the societies that have complied.”
