Club Safety

Commitment To Safety

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada, the safety and well-being of every child is our top priority. We know that when kids feel safe – physically, emotionally, and mentally – they can learn, grow, and thrive. That’s why we continually update our safety policies, training, and practices to ensure every child in our care is protected, supported, and empowered.

Safe Spaces

Our Clubs provide a secure, welcoming environment where kids can play, learn, and build confidence. With highly trained staff, enriching programs, and a strong culture of supervision and care, safety is built into everything we do.

Our commitment to child safety is constant, comprehensive, and unwavering.

Every policy, training session, and partnership is designed to protect and empower the children we serve.

Reference Requirements

Staff seeking to transfer or rehire at other Clubs must provide references from previous positions to ensure a history of safe practice.
