Every day YMCAs across the country approve employees, members, and volunteers to supervise and lead children. Most use some type of screening, but not all background checks are the same. Due to different procedures or budget concerns, your YMCA may not be performing the most thorough or reliable screen.

Why does this matter? Because in some way, big or small, you are responsible for the safety of children and others.

Background Investigation Bureau (BIB) believes thoroughly screening YMCA members, employees and volunteers is an integral part of keeping YMCAs safer. Is your YMCA participating in Nationwide Membership? If your YMCA is participating in Nationwide Membership then you are currently using BIB’s technology in your YMCA every day for Sex Offender Screening. Those participating YMCAs screen not only employees and volunteers, but all of the members of that Y. BIB utilizes several search methods for sex offenders and may also deploy Facial Recognition Technology to help identify Sex Offender Registry matches for YMCA members. To date, this technology has screened over 22 million records to ensure the highest protection for YMCAs.

BIB can improve your YMCA’s screening process by:

• Helping YMCAs remain compliant with the 11th membership standard for screening members and volunteers
• Offering Special YMCA Pricing to Reduce Costs
