About Us

In 2017, an important change in our nation’s legislation entrusted the U.S. Center for SafeSport with the task of responding to and preventing sexual, physical, and emotional abuse in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement. Driven by this mandate, we serve as an educational resource for sports organizations at all levels, helping abuse prevention take root in every sport, on every court.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport is more than a nonprofit, more than a place to work. Each of the dedicated, thoughtful professionals who work with us is driven by the belief that we’re providing the knowledge, tools, and support to end all forms of abuse in sport.
