Make A Difference – Volunteer

Volunteers make a tremendous difference in the lives of youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs and are vital to the success of many of our programs.  You can help in a variety of ways!  Generally, we need volunteers who are able to commit at least two hours per week, for at least three months. However, short-term projects and single-event opportunities do occasionally arise. You must have your own transportation.
Volunteers & Community Service Process:

  1. Submit an application

    • A background check is required if 18 years & older – We will run this check upon receiving your signed application
    • Bring copies of your assignment to orientation… see below for specifics

  2. Register for an Orientation;

    • Thursdays Only – 5:00 p.m. Must call 3 hours before to reserve a seat.

    • Court Appointed: must bring copy of papers that show the charge and hours to complete
      • charges not accepted: weapons, controlled substance, misdemeanor or felony.  Minors with these charges may request an interview to request that we accept their case, however we reserve the right to decline anyone for any reason without disclosure.
    • Adults must have a qualifying background check before an orientation is accepted.
      • adult court appointed community service is not accepted for working with youth.  Traffic offenses may be considered for maintenance assignments only and only available early mornings around 6:00am – we reserve the right to decline anyone for any reason without disclosure.
