Under Construction Notice – Youth Policy

The Sheridan County YMCA is currently strengthening and formalizing our Youth Policy as part of our commitment to becoming Praesidium Accredited in Child Abuse Prevention by June 2026.

During this process, our policies, procedures, and documentation standards are being reviewed and updated to align with best practices in child safety and risk management. You may notice updates to supervision standards, screening requirements, reporting procedures, facility usage expectations, and documentation processes.

Please note:

• Our existing youth protection standards remain in effect.
• Staff and volunteers are expected to continue following all current supervision and reporting protocols.
• Any new procedures will be communicated clearly and implemented with appropriate training.
• Updated policy language will be published once final review and board approval are complete.

The safety of the children and families we serve is our highest priority. We appreciate your patience as we complete this important work and strengthen our systems to ensure a safe, secure, and transparent environment for all.
