This week we learned the importance of KNOW. SEE. RESPOND. and gained practical tools for preventing child sexual abuse—but our work is never done.
We're committed to year-round prevention, and we hope you are, too! Stay connected and informed by visiting www.FiveDaysofAction.org.

Did you know that you don’t need evidence to report abuse—only reasonable suspicion?
There are three reasons you should report – a child discloses that they are being abused, you discover abuse happening, or you suspect that something is not right. Disclosure, Discovery, Suspicion.
Learn more at www.FiveDaysofAction.org/respond. #FiveDaysofAction
When we SEE boundaries being crossed or suspect a child is being abused, we can and should act quickly! Being an active bystander is about stepping in when others won’t so that children remain protected.
Learn what you can do to help protect children’s boundaries at www.FiveDaysofAction.org/knowsee. #FiveDaysofAction
YMCAs in Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, and Slovakia have been providing a humanitarian response to 15,000 citizens daily inside Ukraine’s borders and 40,000 at and beyond the border, and additional funding is needed to sustain these efforts.

Attendees may contribute to their desired level, which may include prayer or monetary donations. www.ymcashr.org/prayer-breakfast-ukraine

In our most unique community collaboration yet, the YMCA of South Hampton Roads has teamed up with the Virginia Gentlemen Foundation to create a landmark new adventure park for those who need it most.
JT’s Camp Grom isn’t just any camp. It’s a 70-acre retreat developed for wounded warriors and their families, the families of fallen war heroes—Gold Star Families, and children and adults with differing abilities. It’s a special place where everyone in the family can spend time and participate together!
Like all Y camps, Camp Grom will deliver all the classic outdoor offerings: apline climbing tower, kayaking, swimming, archery and other fun fitness activities—with staff to help guide all campers and their families through their exhilarating YMCA camp experience.
This 70-acre site in Virginia Beach boasts an aquatic center, an outdoor lake with fishing, a gym/auditorium, picnic shelters, a sports field, a water spray park and so much more. JT’s Camp Grom hopes to welcome thousands of Hampton Roads adults and children with differing abilities each year, plus serve the wounded veterans and Gold Star famliies that live in our area.
There’s never been a project of this kind, of this magnitude. So we were thrilled to be asked to run the day-to-day operations of the camp. Currently, we offer a variety of programming, including group visit days, as well as facility rentals.
