YMCA Guardians for Child Protection
We will be a crucial part of the solution in the prevention of child sexual abuse in our communities and we will have zero tolerance for abuse in the YMCA Movement. The Y Guardians will work to create a culture of safety by raising the bar for the Movement, increasing accountability for child protection, and positioning the YMCA as a leader in this area.
