Volunteer

Volunteers can assist in all areas of our youth development programs –the opportunities are plenty! Our Clubs are in need of homework helpers and tutors, gardening or cooking enthusiasts, and there are even opportunities for sports buffs.

Our Clubs are always looking for volunteers with special skills related to fine arts, crafts, dance, music, computer technology and more. If you have a special skill or interest that matches our listed needs, we are waiting to hear from you!

Volunteer Commitment

Generally, we need volunteers who are able to commit to one or two hours per week, for at least three months. Some short-term projects and single-event opportunities arise occasionally.

If you can’t make a regular commitment, you may still want to consider engaging through Corporate & Group Volunteering or through our Friends of BGCSF group.

Volunteer Opportunities

Opportunities are available at all nine of our Clubs and at our administrative office. The times of greatest need for volunteers are weekdays from 2pm – 6pm, with a fewer opportunities after 6pm. Please click on this link to view our current volunteer opportunities.

Steps to volunteer are as easy as 1, 2, 3…

Adults (18+) interested in volunteering with BGCSF must complete an easy three step process. Youth (ages 14 to 17) interested in volunteering are encouraged to contact their local Clubhouse to learn of how they can get involved. For locations near you, click here.

Step 1: SELECT a volunteer opportunity that matches your interest(s) AND your availability

Step 2: COMPLETE our online volunteer application

Step 3: You will be invited to SCHEDULE a Volunteer Orientation; the session will include Live Scan fingerprinting on-site which is required to volunteer.

Fingerprinting costs $31 (due on the date of your orientation); BGCSF may be able to provide financial assistance for those in need.
