Put the Child First is a training session about child abuse that has been developed for use by volunteers and leaders in youth-serving organizations. The program is educational information on recognizing signs of abuse and what to do to help young people in these situations. We do not expect the volunteer to be the professional. 4-H is involved because we want to say:

• that our programs provide a safe and happy place for children
• that volunteers in our program understand how to care for children with respect for their personal, emotional and physical space
• that we are doing all we can to protect children from abuse

Join us in learning to provide a safe program for youth.
