About us
The U.S. Center for SafeSport is an independent national nonprofit organization responsible for responding to and preventing emotional, physical, and sexual misconduct and abuse in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement. We also serve as an educational resource for sports organizations at all level, from recreational to professional. Founded in 2017 by Congressional mandate, in the wake of highly publicized cases of athlete abuse, our staff is growing rapidly, now numbering over 100 in nearly 30 states. We recruit talented humans in a wide array of fields, from investigations and law to education and training, to audit and compliance, to marketing and communications. Our values of respect, accountability, inclusivity, integrity and wellness underscore all we do, and our passion for our work inspires us daily to build a culture—throughout our team and among athletes and allies everywhere—in which everyone feels safe, supported, and strengthened. If you have experienced abuse or misconduct—or if you have reasonable suspicion of abuse or misconduct inflicted on, or by, someone in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement report here: https://uscenterforsafesport.org/report-a-concern/ To ensure the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s social media channels remain a place that is welcoming and constructive, U.S. Center for SafeSport (Center) administrators reserve the right to moderate comments, including deletion of replies or other content and interactions they deem to be in violation of the Center’s Social Media Community Standards (found below) or in violation of the social media platform’s community standards.

As a novice boxer, no one could mistake me for a pro. Yet, I couldn’t pass up a chance to train with the pros—the best boxers in the nation— at the #Olympic and #Paralympic Training Center. Physically, the workout pushed me to my limits. But I didn’t expect the session to move me emotionally. The boxers I met shared that they had started training at a young age, turning to boxing and their local gym as a place where they felt safe and accepted. Engaging with athletes and hearing their stories continues to fuel my passion for the work we do at the U.S. Center for SafeSport —advocating for safe, supportive sport settings, from the practice fields in towns throughout the nation to the podium in Paris. Special thanks to the USA Boxing, Inc. team for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! #AthleteSafety #PracticetoPodium #SafeSport #Paris #TheGames #LinkedInSports #Athletics #AbusePrevention #Olympics #Paralympics Worth The Fight Boxing & Fitness Studio
