III. ORIENTATION AND TRAINING

A consistent orientation for all employees and volunteers prepares them to make appropriate decisions and take appropriate actions in their role.  Whether the program is on or off campus, all volunteers and staff who work with youth must have adequate training to perform their duties.  The recommended minimum is at least two (2) hours of training. Below is an outline for a 2-hour orientation to be conducted in person, via video, computer modules or a combination.

An example training outline can be found in Appendix H.

Minimum training standards and online resources can be found at youth.oregonstate.edu/training
