Youth Protection Standards
The purpose of the Youth Protection Standards Program is to provide a safe and secure environment for youth and adults involved in Extension programs, implement best practices related to management of volunteer service risk and protect the image and integrity of Texas AgriLife Extension Service and its associated groups. In order to serve as a volunteer, all potential volunteers who have direct, face-to-face contact with youth must be screened through the Youth Protection Standards Program. The criminal background check conducted is a national search of 48 jurisdictions, in addition to state and national sex offender lists. The screening is due for all new volunteers and every third 4-H year afterwards.
If you intend to serve as a direct volunteer with youth and have not been screened, please contact the Montgomery County 4-H Office immediately.
