St. Clair Child and Youth Services (SCCYS) is now an accredited organization.
The agency was recently awarded a four-year accreditation by the Canadian Centre for Accreditation (CCA).
Board President Julie Cardy said to be CCA Accredited is truly a seal of approval.
"Our stakeholders can be assured that we have undergone an extensive internal and external review process that measures our practices against sector and industry standards."
Interim Executive Director Craig McKenzie said the board of directors sees accreditation as a way to externally monitor the organization.
"Being CAA Accredited allows us to demonstrate our accomplishments at not only an operational level, but also in our business management and community governance," he said.
St. Clair Child and Youth Services provides free programs and services to children and youth from 0 to 17-years-old.
