The Northwestern Connecticut YMCA has a commitment to creating a culture of safety.
The YMCA is committed to creating a culture of safety where youth are free from all types of abuse, harassment, and bullying. The Y has a zero-tolerance policy regarding child abuse and neglect and youth-to-youth abuse. This policy applies to all employees, members, volunteers, guests, and vendors associated with the Y. Policies, procedures, and employee & volunteer training have been created with this goal in mind. Any allegation or report of such abuse will be taken seriously, and steps will be taken to fully investigate the report with appropriate action taken to eliminate such behavior.
