The purpose of the Campus Program for Minors is to educate employees of such programs by establishing training and examination requirements relating to sexual abuse and child molestation. The Texas Education Code, Section 51.976 requires certain employees of Campus Programs for Minors to successfully complete an approved sexual abuse and child molestation training and examination program. The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) establishes the requirements for the training and examination programs and approves courses that meet the requirements of 25 Texas Administrative Code 265.401-265.405.

Campus Programs for Minors can meet the training requirement by either:

1. Choosing an already DSHS approved training program for employees; or
2. Developing and obtaining approval from DSHS of a new training program for employees.

Approved Training and Examination Programs

Campus Programs for Minors may use an approved course with a YC or CPM approval number. Youth Camps may use courses with a YC approval number only.
