The YMCA Can Be an Outlet for Sexual Abuse

There are over 2,700 YMCAs located throughout the U.S., and many of them are in California. The YMCA serves millions of people each year, many of them young teens and preteens. Parents and guardians count on YMCA staff and volunteers to care for their children. However, there have been many instances in which children participating in YMCA activities have sustained sexual abuse.

There are various activities in which a child is susceptible to sexual abuse, particularly when their parents are not present. This includes:

• Tutoring
• After school care
• Youth mentoring
• Worship events
• Bible studies
• Daycare
• Swim classes
• Other YMCA events and activities

This sexual abuse can be perpetrated by various members of YMCA employee and volunteer staff, including mentors, support staff, coaches, counselors, teachers, and more. Parents and guardians need to be vigilant and on the lookout for any signs that their child has been sexually abused at the YMCA.
