Care & Safety
Our Care
At Matai Legacy Foundation, the well-being and safety of our youth, families, and community members are sacred priorities. Grounded in Polynesian values of respect, accountability, and guardianship, we maintain rigorous safety protocols across all our mentorship, educational, and community programs in the Pacific Northwest.
We create inclusive, culturally grounded spaces where young people feel secure, valued, and empowered to grow. Every mentor, volunteer, and staff member upholds high ethical standards to ensure safe environments for all activities.
Our guidelines are regularly reviewed to align with best practices and community trust standards.
Youth Standards
All mentors and program facilitators undergo thorough background screening, interview vetting, and specialized training in youth development and cultural competency before leading sessions.
We maintain clear staff-to-youth ratios and mandatory reporting practices to safeguard every participant at all times.
Safe
Our facilities and event venues meet stringent safety, accessibility, and emergency response guidelines to ensure peace of mind for parents and community members during every Foundation activity.
