Child Abuse Prevention

 

The Palestine YMCA is committed to the safety of the members and guests within our YMCA facilities and activities. Children participate in a wide variety of YMCA activities including day camp, child care, sports, aquatics, education opportunities, and more. To ensure an environment of safety for the children within the organization, the YMCA checks the criminal background history and the references of all staff who come in contact with the children. The staff must sign a code of conduct and attend child abuse prevention training to educate them in the expectations of the YMCA. Included in this training is the fact that staff are not allowed to have planned activities with children registered in YMCA programs while they are off duty unless it has been cleared with the CEO. These planned activities include babysitting, private lessons while they are off duty, and other "get-togethers". The YMCA does a superior job of supervising the staff while they are inside the YMCA and addresses any known problems without delay. If you have any concerns, questions, or suspicions, please contact the YMCA immediately because safety and satisfaction are our goals. We appreciate your participation at the YMCA and are devoted to providing a positive experience to everyone involved.
