Youth - Protection Program

We believe that protecting all youth involved in Rotary programs is critical. District 6270 is committed to creating and maintaining the safest possible environment for all participants in Rotary activities. It is the duty of all Rotarians, Rotarian’s spouses, partners, and any other volunteers to safeguard to the best of their ability the welfare of and to prevent the physical, sexual, or emotional abuse of children and young people with whom they come into contact. All clubs that wish to participate in Youth Exchange are required to be certified by Rotary International. This is required in order to protect the safety and well-being of young participants.
