About You
Why do child abuse prevention programs matter? Because on your watch, kids deserve safety, compassion, and opportunity. Every child has these fundamental rights. It’s why Compass works with many types of organizations that share these values:
Archdiocese/Diocese
Churches
Synagogues
Camps
Government Agencies
Schools and School Districts
Higher Education
Youth Sports
Non-Profits
Archdiocese/Diocese
Churches are at the heart of every Christian community. And in a diocese, you have the extra benefit and responsibility for children in schools, day cares, camps and social service agencies. Children play a central role in virtually every part of your diocese.
- Youth groups
- Community activities
- Prayer services
- Holiday parties and events
You know it’s important that everyone working or volunteering in your diocese—from the clergy and professional staff to the volunteers—is trained and background screened. So, what’s your plan?
Compass understands the importance of educating and training children. Using a customized curriculum for children from pre-school through high school, kids are educated by trained facilitators about keeping themselves safe.
Teen volunteers also play a crucial role in helping with youth activities whether in your schools, churches or agencies. Make sure they’re trained to help keep children safe as well with Compass’ age-appropriate teen volunteer training program.
Don’t forget to include parents, who play what’s clearly the most pivotal role in children’s lives. Parent education empowers parents to identify and stop abuse, even before someone in your diocese may notice.
That’s where Compass comes in, helping you protect the children in your diocese while protecting your diocese from potential harm or liability.

- Shabbat youth groups
- Bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah lessons
- Prayer services
- Holiday parties and events
- Community mitzvah activities

Camps
Camps are a place of laughter, fun, and innocence. Unfortunately, child predators with ill intentions often use camps as a place to take advantage of children. Child predators may even be children themselves, working as a teenage camp counselor.
When you run a camp, every familiar face that the campers see is considered “endorsed” by your camp. Let’s work together and make sure everyone is properly background screened and trained, no matter if they are the head counselor or the kitchen staff.
Your teen camp counselors also need age-appropriate training to help them understand their role, boundaries and how to protect the children with whom they are working over the summer.
Empower your campers to identify and stop abuse by providing in-person Compass training, customized for each grade level.

Government Agencies
Government agencies are incredible resources for many children who need assistance. Government employees are caring, selfless individuals who work on helping kids live better lives.
Unfortunately, child predators are experts at conning themselves into roles where they have easy access to children. If your government agency interacts with children in any way, it is critical to make sure that you’re using best practices for training and background screening for both your employees and volunteers.

Schools and School Districts
Whether you run a public, charter or private school, you are in charge of keeping children safe. Safe to learn, safe to make friends, and safe to grow into adulthood.
What do we do when a child predator threatens the safety of schools?
Children trust familiar faces, no matter if they are the Language Arts teacher, the afternoon janitor or the parent volunteer. When your school partners with Compass, you unlock training courses and background screening for everyone on school grounds.
Training the employees is only a part of the solution. Empower your students to identify and stop abuse by providing in-person Compass training, customized for each grade level, taught by people your students know and trust: your staff.
Compass understands the importance of including a child’s most powerful advocate: their parents. Parent education empowers parents to identify and stop abuse, even before someone in your school notices.

Higher Education
Colleges and universities only have young adult students so there is no need for child protection training. Right? Wrong.
“We only have adults on campus,” is a dangerous and too common misconception.
Minors often use higher education campuses for sports camps, youth events, and college classes. And when admission season rolls around, campuses are inundated with high school students touring the campus grounds.
Children need to be protected from hidden predators on campus by background screening and training all employees and volunteers. History has shown that sexual assaults on campus can come from anyone, from the professors to athletic coaches, whether in official university roles or campus-hosted events and camps. But that is only half the story. Children need to be empowered to recognize and report abuse, whether the threat is from a member of the faculty or an adult student.

Youth Sports & Youth Groups
Sports leagues understand the importance of safety. That’s why you ban certain bats, require parental consent, and don’t allow injured kids to play without consulting a doctor.
But what about the hidden dangers? What about child abuse?
Making child abuse prevention a priority means training and background screening everyone, from the experienced coaches to the parent assistants.
However, online training for adult employees and volunteers is only half the equation. Compass understand the importance of empowering kids to identify and report child abuse through in-person training, customized for every grade level.

Non-Profits
Non-profit organizations do incredible work every day to improve the lives of countless children. Your employees and volunteers are caring, selfless individuals who work tirelessly on behalf of children.
Unfortunately, child predators are experts at conning themselves into roles where they have easy access to children. If your non-profit organization interacts with children in any way, it is critical to make sure that you’re using best practices for training and background screening all employees and volunteers.
