Safety Center®
About Us
Since 1934, Safety Center has been one organization for every stage of life. From Safetyville to the workplace and the open road, we empower people through education, training, and the confidence to make safer choices.
● Our Mission: To reduce injuries and save lives by empowering our community to make positive life changing decisions.
Our Mission
Built to serve. Here to stay.
Safety Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to safety education. What began as a community driving program grew decade by decade into one of California’s most comprehensive safety organizations.
Today we operate four distinct divisions — Alcohol and Drug Programs, Workplace Safety, Motorcycle Training, and Safetyville USA — all unified by one belief: that safety education saves lives.
