Our Commitment

In the YMCAs commitment to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities comes a responsibility to create a safe and secure environment where children can grow and develop.  As an advocate for youth development, the YMCA's approach to child abuse prevention includes a detailed staff screening and selection process, training and education, mandated reporting procedures, and documented policies to prevent abuse.  The YMCA understands the importance of educating staff, parents, children, members, and the community about child abuse prevention and we are committed to providing a safe environment for children and families.
