EAA’s Youth Protection Policy and Program sets basic requirements for EAA staff and volunteers who work with children under age 18. It includes online best-practices training and, for certain categories of volunteers, a basic background check (U.S. and Canadian residents only).
EAA Members who have participated in the past or are new YE pilots may check their status by logging into the EAA web site and go to your account info. Make sure you advise Sue Glisson of your updated status when completed.
All of the following persons are required to complete both the online training and background check. Both steps are necessary and the cost is covered by EAA.
All Young Eagles pilots
All Chapter Young Eagles Coordinators and Field Representatives
Two-deep leadership supervisors
Volunteers who will work with youth in ongoing programs other than Young Eagles
EAA staff
Here's a PDF copy of the policy:
Attachment:
Note: While not all volunteers who will work in some capacity with youth in an EAA-related program or event are required to complete training and basic background checks, we strongly encourage them to complete both steps.
If you’re wondering whether your volunteer activities should comply with the training and background check, please review the policy and the frequently asked questions pages on this website.
