2026 Winter Youth Protection Interactive Workshop

Sign up now for new HEPNet programming: Interactive Workshops are designed to help you dive deeper into crucial topics or resources alongside like-minded individuals where you'll leave with actionable steps tailored specifically to your institution. 

Join us for our Interactive Workshop as we delve into the essential resource Inventory and Assessment for Activities with Minors.

Here's what you can expect:

  • Take a Snapshot: 

    An overview of the Inventory and Assessment for Activities with Minors tool, which will help you capture a clear snapshot of where youth are participating in programming, activities, or events across your campus and related properties.
  • Use the Inventory and Assessment Resource: Build strategies and identify key areas across your institution—programs, locations, and partners—where minors are present. This includes identifying priority units, gathering information, reviewing policies and processes, and determining next steps for strengthening youth protection efforts.
  • Identify Key Partners: Use the inventory process to connect with departments, programs, or units that may be challenging to reach or that you want to better understand. The tool helps you forge relationships, discover surprising areas where youth are present, and strengthen institution-wide collaboration.
  • Network: Connect with like-minded professionals and gather ideas from what has worked for others.
