How are paid and volunteer 4-H camp staff trained to prevent and/or report child abuse?
Paid and volunteer 4-H camp staff members are taught to identify the indicators of child abuse and maltreatment and the procedures for reporting child abuse. If a paid and/or volunteer 4-H camp staff member reports a suspicion of child abuse and/or maltreatment, the 4-H Extension Agent (or other adult serving as 4-H Camp Director) and/or the 4-H Center Program Director will report the suspicion to the Department of Social Services.
