Part of the very strict membership requirements to be a chartered Boys & Girls Club organization are annual external safety inspections from a member of the National staff. On July 17th and 18th Boys & Girls Clubs of America performed their annual safety inspections of the United Boys & Girls Clubs facilities and the results ranked United Boys & Girls Clubs in the top tier of all organizations for safety according to the assessment.
Michael Baker, CEO for the United Boys & Girls Clubs said, “We take the safety of our members and staff very seriously and I am thrilled with the results of this assessment.“
Jim Turner the Chair of the Board-led Safety Committee went on to say, “I am very proud of our staff and as a volunteer Board member and chair of the Safety Committee I have seen first-hand the time and effort everyone puts into making sure all our clubs are safe for the youth we serve.”
