Policy and Procedures
We offer the Coach Safely course at a 60% cost reduction for youth sports organizations in underserved communities. The reduced rate is available to contracting organizations located in zip codes identified as “distressed” or “at risk” based on Census data and the following criteria:
- No high school diploma: Share of the 25 and older population without a high school diploma or equivalent.
- Housing vacancy rate: Share of habitable housing that is unoccupied, excluding properties that are for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use.
- Adults not working: Share of the prime-age (25-54) population that is not currently employed.
- Poverty rate: Share of the population below the poverty line.
- Median income ratio: Median household income as a share of metro area median household income (or state, for non-metro areas and all congressional districts).
- Changes in employment: Percent change in the number of jobs over the past five years.
- Changes in establishments: Percent change in the number of business establishments over the past five years
