All MIT faculty, staff, or students working with minors should complete the new training about the Protection of Minors at MIT, available via the Atlas Learning Center. This training introduces the policies and procedures designed to protect the safety of minors who participate in MIT's in-person, online, and hybrid programs. The course takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Program administrators are responsible for providing additional training specific to the needs of their program to staff and/or volunteers, and are encouraged to provide a code of conduct around program expectations.
All faculty, staff, volunteers, and students working with minors should also review DOs and DON'Ts of Working with Minors which provide tips and helpful guidance for maintaining a safe and positive environment.
