- Many of you know that safety is our utmost priority. Over many years, we’ve implemented policies and practices to keep our community safe. For example, we teach consent in every class, we have a Care Team of volunteers who are trained in bystander intervention for our parties, and we have a confidential incident reporting system. You can learn more here.
