Tune in on FIRST Twitch.
Coaches and Mentors: Check your YPP Status!
If your Youth Protection screening was done four years ago, you may not have access to the FTC Scoring system any more! Please check your status on your FIRST dashboard and renew your screening if it's been four years since your last one. When you log into your dashboard, click on your name in the upper right hand corner, then click "My Profile." Then click Youth Protection Screening on the left. The bottom right corner of the screen will have the date that your YPP clearance expires.
