IMPACT Administrators' Toolkit
Men As Peacemakers
A 6-step guide to saftey & gender equity in sports.
This toolkit includes resources for Executive Directors, Club Presidents, Coaching Directors or other leaders of community athletic organizations. The resources included will teach your coaches to promote safety, respect, and gender equity with all players. This guide is meant to provide examples and a framework for the development of your organization’s policies and procedures. Our previous work with the Minnesota State High School League, Arrowhead Youth Soccer Association, Winona Youth Soccer Association, and other sports organizations, has taught us that every organization is unique. We encourage you to work with us directly to tailor your approach to your specific community of coaches and players. Contact Men As Peacemakers at info@menaspeacemakers.org or 218-727-1939 to get started.

Practical Guide for Youth Serving Organizations
Enough Abuse
A capacity building grant from the Ms. Foundation for Women and a seed grant from The Boston Bruins Foundation supported the development of our "GateKeepers for Kids: A Practical Guide for Youth Service Organizations" program. Its objective is to educate these institutions about the basics they must have in place to strengthen their child protection policies and practices. This 12-page Practical Guide details the latest training, screening and reporting strategies in the field and a set of Fact Sheets on training, screening, reporting, steps to develop a code of conduct so inappropriate behaviors can be identified early before they escalate to abuse, how to assess and modify physical spaces to reduce opportunities for sexual abuse to occur, etc.

Youth Sexual Abuse Policy and Procedures
Positive Coaching Alliance
These policies and procedures set organizational standards that will keep adult leaders aware and hold you and your fellow organizational leaders accountable for following through with these safety checks. No YSO wants to have youth sexual abuse concerns, which is why leaders need explicit policies and procedures to help with prevention.
The recommended policies and procedures outlined in the PDF found below are brought to you by SureID™, a PCA trusted resource. SureID is a secure Identity-as-a-Service solution that helps organizations manage third-party risk. The four steps outlined include a coach recruitment plan, an annual abuse prevention orientation, a list of prohibited behaviors, and a system for reporting suspected child sexual abuse.
Keep your YSO and your athletes safe by following these preventative steps.
