Part of the 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 17-18 Boys & Girls Clubs of America performed their annual safety inspections of the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara facilities and the results ranked United Boys & Girls Clubs in the top tier of all organizations for safety according to the assessment.
“We take the safety of our members and staff very seriously and I am thrilled with the results of this assessment,” said Michael Baker, CEO of the United Boys & Girls Clubs.
”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,” said Jim Turner.
