Child Safety

The Bloomington-Normal YMCA aims to provide an environment within the walls of our facility and when we're out in the community where children are safe from abuse and can learn, grow and thrive. All of our staff and volunteers are committed to creating programs and providing resources to help stop child abuse within our community and to keep our kiddos safe. All staff (along with volunteers who work with children) are required to pass training provided by Praesidium, the leading organization within the United States in abuse risk management, before they're allowed to work their first shift.

The Bloomington-Normal YMCA is Praesidium accredited as May 2025.
