This online training is part of an overall effort by the Church to increase awareness, highlight policies, and identify best practices for supervising and interacting with children and youth. www.churchofjesuschrist.org

The Church asks that all Latter-day Saints with the following congregational assignments complete the training:

• Stake and district presidencies, bishoprics and branch presidencies
• High councilors
• Stake, district, ward, and branch Primary, Young Women, Young Men and Sunday School and Relief Society presidencies; elders quorum presidencies
• Secretaries, teachers, advisers, camp leaders, activity day leaders, music leaders, pianists and others serving in positions in the Primary, Young Women and Young Men organizations
• Teachers of youth Sunday School and seminary classes

Latter-day Saint leaders registered in Scouting should also complete the required Boy Scouts of America’s Youth Protection training through the remainder of 2019, after which the Church will no longer be participating in BSA.

In addition to those working with children and youth, parents and others are encouraged to complete the training.
