BE GREAT—especially when it comes to child abuse prevention!
Providing a safe place for children to learn and grow is a vital part of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ mission. Your Clubs work hard to provide great futures for youths—away from the dangers of crime, poverty, drugs, and educational attrition—but what about protecting them from risk inside your Club?
Boys & Girls Clubs of America recommends Club Care®, along with Praesidium’s other child abuse prevention services, to help keep your members safe from sexual abuse by an adult or peer and protect your employees and volunteers from false allegations of abuse.

Testimonials
Once our staff began completion of the trainings we noticed they were initiating peer-to-peer discussions about what they had learned and were beginning to personalize the risk situations to their own positions in the Club.
