At the Cumberland Cape Atlantic YMCA, child protection is not a one-time achievement—it’s an ongoing promise.
As a Praesidium Accredited YMCA, we continually invest in the policies, training, and culture that help keep kids safe. This Child Abuse Prevention Month, and especially during Five Days of Action, we reaffirm our commitment:
“We hold ourselves to the highest standard because the safety of those we serve is never up for debate.” — John Antonelli, CEO
Protecting youth is a shared responsibility, and we’re proud to lead by example.

Child Protection Information
At the Y, we know that ending child sexual abuse takes a cooperative community effort. That's why we've partnered with Darkness to Light, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization and creators of the award-winning Stewards of Children™ curriculum. Prevention training for staff, volunteers and parents creates a culture of awareness.
While we cannot eliminate all threats, we want to do what we can to ensure that the children in our care are safe. When entering the Y all members, participants, and guests must have a valid picture ID that will be scanned through a national child abuse database. If a sex offender match occurs, the YMCA reserves the right to cancel the membership, end program participation, and remove visitation access.
We appreciate your cooperation.
