Youth Club Insurance
If you run a youth club or group, then ALIGNED can help you find a commercial insurance policy to protect it. All businesses, including not for profit organizations, come with risks, but you can mitigate these risks with the right insurance coverage.
What insurance coverage do youth clubs need?
Youth groups can benefit from a wide range of insurance coverages. Experts typically recommend adding the following coverage types to your youth club insurance policy.
- Commercial general liability insurance: Commercial general liability coverage can protect your youth group against claims alleging third party bodily injury or property damage. Under this portion of your policy, your insurer may compensate you for medical expenses, repair bills, legal fees, and more.
- Commercial property insurance: Commercial property insurance aims to protect the physical space where your youth club operates and any business-related contents inside of it from property damage. Please note that not all incidences of property damage will be covered; only those that are caused by an insured peril listed in your policy. Insured perils vary but can include fire, theft, water damage, windstorms, vandalism, etc.
- Cyber liability insurance: If your youth club stores sensitive information online, such as financial, medical, or personal information about your members, cyber liability coverage is likely worthwhile. Cyber liability insurance can protect your youth group if its online system is hacked and important data is stolen. Under this portion of your youth club insurance policy, you can be compensated for expenses like legal fees, credit monitoring, client notification, and more.
- Directors & officers liability insurance: If your youth group is a registered not for profit organization with a board of directors, you may wish to add directors & officers liability coverage to your youth club insurance plan. This type of coverage is designed to cover the cost of a lawsuit if a claim is brought against any of your board members.
- Abuse liability insurance: Abuse liability insurance can protect your youth group from the cost of a claim that alleges abuse or misconduct by one of your staff members. With this type of coverage, your insurance provider may help pay for legal fees, including defence costs. Abuse liability insurance is often important for organizations that work with children, such as youth clubs.
- Professional liability insurance: If your youth club provides advice or counselling-related services to its members, professional liability insurance may come in handy. This coverage option offers financial protection in the event that a third party files a lawsuit against your group alleging negligence, misconduct, failure to deliver a service as promised, etc.
- Commercial auto insurance: Does your youth group use cars for business purposes, such as to transport members to and from the premises or take them on trips elsewhere? If so, then commercial auto insurance is essential. Depending on where your youth club operates, your commercial auto coverage may feature third party liability coverage, comprehensive coverage, uninsured automobile coverage, accident benefits coverage, collision coverage, and more.
- Umbrella liability insurance: Umbrella liability insurance takes effect when regular liability limits are reached, meaning it can protect youth clubs against unforeseen or catastrophic events.
