12th Annual 

Child and Youth Protection Catholic Leadership Conference CYPCLC

​

​

Welcome to the CYPCLC official website. We hope you will join us for the 2017 Child & Youth Protection Catholic Leadership Conference. The 2017 Conference will take place in Savannah, Georgia at the Hilton Savannah Desoto Hotel located in Savannah's beautiful Historic District. The annual gathering formerly known as the National Safe Environment and Victim Assistance Coordinators Leadership Conference (NSECVAC) has had a name change which was decided after realizing that professionals other than Safe Environment and Victim Assistance Coordinators attend the event. This conference has evolved to all Catholic leadership sharing and receiving resources and suggested best practices with the Secretariat of Child & Youth Protection for carrying out our mission of protecting children and youth and fullfilling outreach to survivors of abuse. We feel the new name is inclusive of all individuals regardless of job title who work diligently to keep the promise to protect and the pledge to heal.

Thank you for all you do!

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by Venerable Michael McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut, to protect and serve Catholic families.  As a fraternal organization, it also offers assistance to the sick, disabled, needy, and their families.  Fellowship is promoted among members and their families through social, charitable, and religious works.  For the Knights of Columbus, the duty to protect vulnerable persons has a special urgency because of the vision of our founder.  For this reason, it maintains an Office of Youth Protection to assist members and dioceses in protecting vulnerable persons served within the Catholic Church.
