Volunteer
Interested in Volunteering in One of our Clubs?
Volunteers are vital to the success of our Clubs! When you volunteer at one of our 17 locations, you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of youth and give back to your community. Within the first few minutes of walking into a Club, you know you’re in a special place. No matter what area you serve in, you can make a positive impact on a child’s life and in turn, you will find that spending time with these young people has a positive impact on you as well.
Volunteer Requirements:
- Complete a volunteer application
- Submit two reference letters
- Complete a background check
- Attend a volunteer orientation
- Must have transportation
- Must be 15 years or older
- *Volunteers under 18 must be registered Club members and follow youth-specific guidelines.
Due to the nature of our work with children, we do not accept court-mandated volunteers.
Service Opportunities:
- Education (homework help, tutoring, reading, STEM, etc.)
- Leadership & Service (assist with our Youth of the Year program, service opportunities with our members, etc.)
- Sports & Recreation (assist members in developing positive attitudes toward physical activity, healthy eating, and healthy decisions)
- Health & Wellness (social-emotional development, self-efficacy, health communication)
- The Arts (digital, fine, applied, and performing arts)
- Workforce Readiness (career mentoring and coaching, job shadowing, resume building, job interviewing, etc.)
- Club Maintenance (painting, organizing, cleaning, landscaping, etc.)
Individual Volunteering
We welcome individual volunteers in any of the areas listed above! Please reach out to the Unit Director at the Club you would like to volunteer at for more information.
Group Volunteering
We welcome corporate and civic organizations looking to volunteer as a group for service projects and special workshops!
One-time group volunteer opportunities are available and only require each participant to 1) complete the volunteer waiver and 2) attend a volunteer orientation.
The volunteer waiver does not apply to individuals not associated with a group, organization, or company interested in volunteering.
If you have questions about volunteer opportunities at a Club in your area, please email volunteer@bgccp.com!
