McGruff Neighborhood
McGruff Neighborhood
McGruff Neighborhood is an initiative composed of the programs McGruff House, McGruff Club, and McGruff Truck.
The McGruff® Neighborhood Initiative allows communities to access a full spectrum of coordinated programs, all focused on educating children and engaging neighbors in keeping children safe.
Schools are the cornerstones of children’s communities. The McGruff Neighborhood Initiative uses the McGruff Club program to teach children personal safety skills in a classroom or afterschool setting.
Keeping children safe doesn’t end at the schoolyard. The safety skills children learn through McGruff Club need to be supplemented with a network of caring adults that can help them if they encounter danger in their neighborhoods. McGruff Houses (residences) and McGruff Trucks (utility or municipal vehicles) offer temporary havens for children who find themselves in frightening or dangerous situations.
