YMCAs have played a vibrant role in our communities for more than 150 years. Through programs such as child-care, youth services, fitness, camping, residential facilities and transportation, YMCAs have touched the lives of many people - across all ages and backgrounds. These programs also contain inherent risks that, if not appropriately controlled, could cause injuries and seriously damage your organization's ability to perform its mission.

That's why it's important to work with an insurance company that understands your operations and services. Since 1988*, The Redwoods Group Insurance Program for YMCAs has provided customized coverage and services exclusively to YMCAs - consistently setting the standard for the highest level of protection available.

Insight. Experience. Commitment.

What makes us unique is not only our knowledge about our business - it's knowledge about yours. Frankly, some companies may struggle to understand the activities you offer today, like ropes courses, whitewater kayaking, skate parks or at-risk youth programming. In contrast, we are not only comfortable with these exposures, we recognize that there will be different, more challenging programs you'll want to offer tomorrow.

As your risk management partner, we'll apply our in-depth knowledge of YMCAs to help you eliminate or minimize exposures to risk, in both your current programs as well as those you'll develop in the future. We've insured YMCAs with many tough exposures, including abuse and molestation, adventure activities, runaway shelters, and more, so we're familiar with the kinds of programming your community demands.

*The statutory companies backing The Redwoods Group Insurance Program for YMCAs have been Industrial Indemnity, Coregis , Westport (ERC), Kempes and Specialty National Insurance Company, and AIG Companies
