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
