*If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the form below and complete a Volunteer Application (click below for the appropriate application).
Please note that volunteer opportunities are limited to weekdays until 6pm; no weekend opportunities are available. Volunteer processing and assignments are managed by each individual location. Feel free to call or stop by the location that interests you.
Individual Volunteers
Those who wish to volunteer on a regular basis must pass a background check. Volunteers will not be allowed to work with children until the check is complete. The background check requires the application be filled out completely – including your social security number.
Teen Volunteers
Individuals younger than 18 years of age are not old enough to go through the background check. A limited number of volunteers in this age group are accepted. The application must be signed by both the teen volunteer and his/her parent.
Group Volunteers
Groups who wish to volunteer on a one-time or occasional basis do not need to complete individual volunteer applications. The group application must be submitted well in advance to ensure there is enough work for the group. Groups that are flexible with the date they wish to volunteer will have more options for projects.
Billiards, foosball, ping pong, board games, basketball, soccer, active games, playground
Adults are often needed to teach sportsmanship and skills to youth in our games rooms and gymnasiums. Having additional adults in the games room means that our members are surrounded with positive role models. One-on-one interaction between youth and adults is an essential building block for healthy development of youth.
Homework assistance, tutoring, storytelling, word processing, Web design, Internet surfing, tech support, supervision, programming
Today's families are pulled in all directions. It is often difficult for parents to take the time out of their day to help their child with homework. Each day, kids come to our Clubs looking for assistance and attention. Volunteers are often needed to give each student the attention they deserve. Adult tutors are also needed to meet with youth to help build their skills in a particular area.
COACHING
Flag football, basketball, volleyball, soccer
Coaching takes a special person who cares about youth and who can model teamwork, sportsmanship, and the joy of being involved in a positive, healthy activity.
Youth who understand citizenship will take part in their communities throughout their lives.
Volunteers are needed to advise Boys & Girls Club members in the ways of good citizenship, teaching the skills of democracy, planning events, working in a team, and helping others. Volunteers for the above programs must be over 21, and must make a one-year commitment to the group they facilitate. Time commitment is beyond four hours per month.
Cooking, art, dance, magic, outdoors, environmental education, biking
Each of us has a special passion. Whether it’s kites, cupcakes, model airplanes, or anything else—one-time demonstrations or weekly classes—you choose the topic and the format! Don't be shy…your hobby might be just what some child needs to keep him or her going when the things get tough.
FUNDRAISING
Special events, board member, and young professionals association
Volunteers in this arena work on special events and fundraising for the Clubs.
