Safe Children Coalition

The Sarasota Family YMCA serves as the Lead Agency for Community Based Care in three counties on the West Coast of Florida - Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto. Under the leadership of the Sarasota Family YMCA, the Safe Children Coalition (SCC) is a collaboration between the YMCA and many local community entities who together provide a continuum of child welfare services for dependent children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Child protection services provided include case management, foster care, independent living and adoptions.
