# I've got a question about getting a background check to volunteer with DI.

In the 2019-20 season of Destination Imagination (DI), we launched an updated and comprehensive **Youth Protection Policy** intended to ensure the safety of our participants and of the DI community. This policy includes online training for all staff and volunteers, and stipulates that all Team Managers have passed background checks before they interact with any youth participants. These fundamental changes are necessary to protect the youth that we serve and put Destination Imagination on par with relevant, globally-minded youth organizations around the world.

**In order to facilitate this policy and protect our youth participants, all Team Managers are required to clear a background check before they begin working with their team.** Learn more about our background check procedures - including ways to obtain or share a background check - [on this page.](https://www.destinationimagination.org/challenge-experience/background-checks/)
