Registered Volunteer Program (RVP)
In an effort to protect USBC Youth, we are asking our local associations to talk to any centers in your area that are not participating in the RVP program and explain the program to them. If you are unsure if they are participating, check BOWL.com under "Find a Center." If they are participating, there will be an RVP icon next to their name. Ask the centers to support this vital program and explain to the coaches and parents the importance of screening individuals. If you would like brochures to assist you with promoting the program, please contact Sharon Moen at sharon.moen@bowl.com.
