Survivors for Change (S4C) is dedicated to revolutionizing sports safety education and fostering healthy relationships within the athletic community. Founded from the lived experiences of survivors and champions of change, S4C emerged as a response to the systemic barriers that have long allowed abuse and neglect to persist in sports. At our core, we believe that every athlete deserves a safe and supportive environment—one where coaches, parents, and peers work together to nurture young talent while protecting the joy and integrity of sports. Our mission is to empower youth players and those who support them through comprehensive education, trauma-informed training, and robust advocacy initiatives. We’re steadfastly committed to fostering a culture of accountability and trust that not only enhances performance on the field or rink but also fortifies personal growth and emotional wellbeing. Drawing upon the powerful narratives of survivors and the expertise of seasoned professionals in social work and sports safety, S4C works relentlessly to provide the tools needed for meaningful change. Our innovative programs blend peer support, evidence-based training, and community outreach to dismantle harmful practices and rebuild safe, respectful sporting environments. We believe that prevention begins with awareness, and that healing begins with honest, informed dialogue. Through strategic partnerships—both longstanding and emerging—we address the full spectrum of challenges in sports safety. By collaborating with academic institutions, professional organizations, and grassroots initiatives, S4C amplifies the voices of those who have been silenced and champions policies that put athlete wellbeing at the forefront. Our comprehensive approach not only equips individuals with practical strategies for everyday challenges but also inspires systemic change across the sports landscape. Every program we develop, every training session we facilitate, and every conversation we spark is driven by a commitment to ensure that the future of sports is one defined by respect, empowerment, and safety. Survivors for Change is more than an organization—it’s a movement toward a better, more humane athletic world where every player can pursue their dreams free from harm. Join us as we transform sports culture and help safeguard the potential of our youth and thank you for your support!
