COMMITMENT TO CHILD SAFETY
We work diligently to keep children and everyone in our care safe. We require a complete criminal, personal, and professional background check of each staff and volunteer member. Additionally, all members and guests who enter a YMCA facility are immediately screened through a local and national sex offender registry, and our database is thoroughly reviewed every month.
Not only all staff, but also all volunteers, must read and follow our child abuse prevention policy. Our policy is strict: it prohibits a YMCA staff person or volunteer from being alone with a child where they cannot be observed by others.
All staff and volunteers are required to participate in training about the prevention of child abuse, identifying the signs of abuse and reporting suspected abuse incidents. Staff renew this training every year. Staff and volunteers in direct service with children are required to undergo additional child abuse prevention trainings.
If any YMCA staff member or volunteer becomes aware of any incident of suspected child abuse, they are required to report the incident to the Washington Department of Social and Health Services immediately for investigation and follow up.

2019 Annual Report
"At its core, the Y remains steadfast in its desire to serve all by providing access regardless of a person’s ability to pay. In 2019, our Y provided $5.7 million in financial assistance and $2.2 million in program subsidies, which allowed an additional 19,000 members to participate in our programs and services. The service to all is a foundational piece of the YMCA."

2017 Annual Report
"When you have been a part of an organization like the YMCA for as long as I have, you can’t help but develop a deep sense of pride for the work. There is something special about the Y, especially when you get to see and feel the impact of a life transformed. A day rarely goes by that I do not hear about someone positively affected by the Y."
