The safety and well-being of children is, and always will be, the Y's top priority.
As a youth-serving organization that reaches 8 million children and teens every year, the Y’s most important work is creating safe environments for young people. That any child or teen would experience harm in our care is unacceptable. Ensuring the safety and well-being of young people is foundational to everything we do at the Y to help them learn, grow and thrive.
At the Y we take all forms of child abuse seriously. When adults collectively understand the risks and red flags of abuse, we are being proactive and can do more to keep the youth in our community safe. When we all take action, abuse is preventable. We hope you will join us in our cause in preventing all child abuse.
The Shasta Family YMCA cares. If you suspect child abuse or you are a victim of child abuse, call the Shasta Family YMCA anonymous hotline at 530.232.0610. We will respond to your phone call.
Praesidium's 24/7 helpline is also available at 855.347.0751. The Praesidium’s Y Helpline provides employees, volunteers, members, parents, and participants with a way to report suspicious or inappropriate behaviors and policy violations. Anonymously, if desired.
