Youth Protection Program

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo is committed to ensuring the safety of youth on our campus, in Cal Poly programs, and within our community. Cal Poly’s Youth Protection Program safeguards youth by defining the bandwidth of acceptable behavior when interacting with minors and establishing minimum requirements for youth programs operated by or at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo.
