## What the grant funds

With this funding opportunity, the U.S Center for SafeSport (SafeSport) will continue to design and implement a program that aims to safeguard amateur athletes through the prevention of sexual, physical and emotional abuse in the athletic programs of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and national governing bodies (NGB). Under the Keep Young Athletes Safe (KYAS) program, the grantee will design and implement measures to protect young athletes through the development of educational materials, training programs and policies, and necessary tools to help prevent and address identified abuse. Additionally, SafeSport will continue to develop background screening policies for new and existing USOPC and NGB organizational staff, including coaches, instructors and volunteers, and oversee regular and random audits to ensure that, once implemented, the policies and procedures to prevent and identify amateur athlete abuse are followed correctly. The KYAS program requires reporting of any allegations of sexual and physical abuse, following applicable state and federal reporting requirements.
