The U.S. Center for SafeSport is the first national organization of its kind focused on ending all forms of abuse in sports. Its mission is to make athlete well-being the centerpiece of our nation’s sports culture through abuse prevention, education and accountability.
An independent non-profit, the Center opened on March 3, 2017 and provides services to sport entities on abuse prevention techniques, policies and programs. It serves as a professional and confidential place for 14 million athletes, coaches, and other participants in the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee to report sexual abuse
