Fred Burns
Fred Burns is a member of the Youth Villages National Board of Directors. After serving as a software engineer for American Airlines, J.P. Morgan Chase and Verizon Wireless, he launched Safer Management, Inc, where he is CEO. The company developed SchoolDay.AI, a mobile and web application that is now used by over 50,000 students and teachers across the United States.
“After seeing the barrage of allegations concerning Youth Villages, I felt the need to speak the truth. The truth is that we need more organizations like Youth Villages, not fewer — committed to transforming systems and improving the lives of people that for far too long have been left behind.”
