In 2010, Britney began working full time for the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs of Texas and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston. She held multiple positions, providing a first-class program and has been a pivotal part in creating local initiatives and programs that increased staff training and development, overall program quality, and improved the Club member experience.
