As the world looks toward the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Italy, we are reminded that every athlete’s journey is built moment by moment: from early mornings and late practices to balancing their dream, school, work, and family.
The U.S. Center for SafeSport is working to Protect the Dream of every athlete by helping to ensure their journeys are safe, supported, and free from emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
The newest U.S. Center for SafeSport PSA, Protect the Dream, underscores that every athlete comes from somewhere. When athletes have safe and respectful environments, character, confidence, and dreams flourish.
Stand with U.S.A. athletes by sharing Protect the Dream with your viewers and raising awareness about the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s mission to end abuse in sport.
Established in 2017, the U.S. Center for SafeSport is the independent and exclusive authority charged by Congress with responding to and preventing all forms of abuse and misconduct within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement. The Center is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
The Center receives, investigates, and responds to reports of abuse and misconduct from individuals affiliated with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and its National Governing Bodies (NGBs). The Center ensures that the USOPC and NGBs properly apply policies and procedures to govern abuse prevention and maintains a database of individuals sanctioned from participation in their sport.
Throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Movement, the Center trains athletes, parents, coaches, volunteers, and organizations at all levels on best practices and principles for preventing abuse in sport settings. In doing so, the Center advances its mission of making athlete well-being the center of our nation’s sports culture through abuse prevention, education, and accountability.
