Ensuring child safety is fundamental to the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County is committed to providing high-quality programs and services to Club members in a way that makes them feel a sense of belonging and connectedness and emotionally and physically safe.

It is a membership requirement that all staff and volunteers of local Clubs are trained annually on the local Club’s required comprehensive safety policies.

Additionally, all Club employees have access to a variety of innovative safety trainings from Boys & Girls Clubs of America and through partner organizations. Clubs participate in a wide variety of child safety training conducted through seminars, conferences, webinars and a semi-annual safety symposium. We also engage leading third-party safety experts to provide guidance for our policies and approaches, including Praesidium, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and the National Children’s Advocacy Center. Clubs are required to prominently display key safety resources information, including the Crisis Text Line, a confidential text message service for youth, and Child Safety Helpline.
