Our Purpose
Building a safer tomorrow for today's youth.
BCSP Foundation’s Youth Safety Institute provides the necessary tools to address and mitigate the potential risks currently presented by youth participation in the modern economy. Our youth focus extends beyond safety, fostering problem-solving skills and imparting a sense of responsibility for one's self and others.
Because some things just aren’t worth the risk.
There can be no more fundamental expression of this core belief than the need to invest resources and engage stakeholders to address safety concerns on behalf of the most vulnerable members of our workforce, those active participants aged 16-24. We have the responsibility and expertise to educate and inspire the safety leaders of tomorrow while we protect them from harm today.
