USN's Commitment to Protecting Children
 
Everyone who works with students in our  K-12 setting has a responsibility to protect the safety and well-being of students. 

We ask all volunteers to complete a quick information form and watch a short video designed for volunteers in K-12 schools who have supervised access to children. The "Shine a Light" video covers concrete ways to recognize, prevent and report sexual misconduct.

Please click here to watch the video and complete the form to acknowledge you have watched the video.

Please contact the USN Business Office with any questions.
