YSO Academy

The second 30-60 days are where the real writing happens. Using everything you learned about your organization in the first phase, you'll draft the policies that directly protect children across every major risk area.

You'll learn the principles that make policies stick — how to write rules that are specific enough to enforce, practical enough to follow, and strong enough to hold up when tested. Then you'll work through each major policy area: access controls for visitors and vendors, screening and reference check standards, staff application and interview processes, one-on-one supervision rules, off-campus and social media conduct, mentoring boundaries and grooming warning signs, student behavior codes, supervision ratios and camera policies, and public event safety plans.

You'll also build out your incident response infrastructure — whistleblower protections, mandated reporter training, communications templates, and a step-by-step decision tree for how your organization responds when something goes wrong. By Day 90, you'll have a working draft of your organization's core child protection policies — written to fit your people, your programs, and your real-world constraints.
