Visitor Safety Measures
This year, to ensure the safety of the youth we serve, all spectators and visitors entering the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club who are 18 years of age or older must sign in at the front desk using our newly installed RAPTOR system. Visitors and spectators must provide a valid, government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.), which will then be scanned by this system to check for crimes against children. Visitors will be printed a pass to wear for the entire duration of their stay on NBGC premises. Guests who are unable to provide a valid ID will not be granted access to the building or NBGC grounds.
We sincerely appreciate your partnership in continuing to enhance the measures and systems that keep our players safe.
