AFC Insurance Inc. offers a focused Health & Human Services program tailored for Religious Youth and Outreach Groups. The program is designed for organizations that support teenagers and young adults in faith-based and outreach settings. Whether your client runs a church-affiliated youth group, a faith-based mentoring program, or a nonprofit community outreach initiative, AFC’s program helps you place comprehensive protection so those organizations can operate with confidence.
Ideal Accounts and Program Appetite:
This program targets organizations that provide safe, structured environments for teens and young adults through religious and community outreach activities. Eligible classes include:
Youth Groups
Religious Youth Groups
Outreach Programs
To qualify, insureds must conduct mandatory background checks on all staff and volunteers. AFC looks for accounts that prioritize safety, background screening, and clear supervision policies. Typical fits are congregational youth ministries, faith-based mentoring programs, and nonprofit outreach efforts that work regularly with minors. Accounts with significant high-risk activities (unsupervised overnight camps, extensive adventure travel) or weak screening policies may not qualify.
Coverage Highlights:
AFC’s Religious Youth and Outreach Groups Insurance program includes a broad set of coverages designed for the exposures these organizations face:
Package policies combining common coverages for convenience
General Liability and Professional Liability
Endorsements & enhancements, such as:
Volunteers & independent contractors included as insureds
Optional key employee replacement endorsement
Optional extended coverage endorsement with blanket additional insured
Umbrella liability
Property and auto coverage (state and carrier restrictions may apply)
Abuse & molestation coverage
These options help address third-party liability, property exposures, auto-related incidents, and sensitive youth-protection claims. Endorsement flexibility and volunteer wording are particular strengths for placing church-affiliated and volunteer-driven programs.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums:
Minimum premiums vary by account size, location, and coverages selected. AFC works with multiple carriers to offer flexible solutions based on each client’s risk profile. Important underwriting considerations include:
Verified, documented background checks for all staff and volunteers
Written child-protection and supervision policies
Limits on high-risk activities or unsupervised travel
Clear volunteer training and screening records
Provide detailed loss history, screening procedures, and program manuals to help AFC underwrite efficiently.
