Club Safety
Culture of safety
BGCC continually updates robust safety policies, programs, and training for our staff and volunteers, ensuring a culture of safety for our people and our programs. Our culture of safety includes the following components.
- All BGCC staff and volunteers complete:
- Federal background check
- Live Scan fingerprint check
- Child Abuse Mandated Reporter Training
- All BGCC staff are mandated reporters, who are required to report any critical incident/safety concerns to local authorities immediately
- BGCC has written safety policies to protect youth that cover supervision, transportation, social media, and one-on-one contact
- BGCC completes an annual external safety assessment to ensure compliance with safety policies and practices at our Club
- BGCC has a Board-led Safety Committee to design and oversee local policies and safety strategies
Boys & Girls Club of the Coastside does not provide medical coverage for Club Members enrolled in our activities, including BGCC~Cunha Athletics, nor is medical coverage required.
