Working with Children Guidelines

Keeping IEEE and Kids Safe

IEEE staff and volunteers who participate in activities or programs designed for children (ages 18 and under) must register their program with IEEE’s Office of Risk and Insurance Management Services and complete online training.

  • The primary program contact must register the activity or program by completing the Registration Form

    • The activity must be registered 60 days prior to the start date of the program.
    • The registration form is reviewed by the IEEE Office of Risk and Insurance Management Services (ORIMS). 
    • Registered activities will receive instructions for completing the required online training and background screening procedures, if applicable.
  • You must register your activity to get an online training link.

    All IEEE staff and volunteers who interact with children are required to complete the online training. The online training is delivered by IEEE’s partner, Praesidium. The training must be completed every three years while an individual continues to work with children. The online training includes a review and acknowledgment of the IEEE Guidelines for Working With Children (PDF)

STEM Outreach Training

The Pre-University Coordinating Committee (PECC), a committee that reports to the Educational Activities Board of IEEE, has created a series of courses to support your volunteer work. IEEE Pre-University STEM Community members have access to these courses (click here to join if you are not a member). We hope you find these valuable.
