WE CANNOT DO THIS WORK ALONE.
GET TO KNOW OUR KIDS & CLUBS AS A VOLUNTEER.
Working with youth today means a brighter future for everyone. Within the first few minutes of walking into a Club, you know you’re in a special place.
The Club offers a variety of programs that teach sportsmanship and skills to youth in activities ranging from billiards, board games, basketball and active games to gardening. One-on-one interaction between youth and responsible, caring adults is an essential building block for healthy development.
Volunteering with homework assistance, tutoring, storytelling, word processing, web design, Internet surfing or tech support is a vital way to provide youth the attention they deserve and skills they need. Adult tutors are also needed to meet with youth to help build their skills in a focused area.
Our Board of Directors ensures that Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Southwest Michigan operates to our fullest capacity and is the greatest steward of our mission. Committees lead projects for programs, events and fundraising.
Individuals and groups can participate in projects that keep our facilities running smoothly, our grounds looking bright and welcoming, and all areas safe, healthy and effective for our members.
Volunteers who assist with special events and marketing are crucial to our team. As members of a task force, committee, or event-day support team, volunteers keep fundraising and marketing initiatives running smoothly.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old unless part of a group volunteer event that includes adult chaperones (such as a youth group).
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Southwest Michigan is a safe and secure environment for the children and teens we serve. Those with felonies or sexual offenses are not permitted on our sites. For the safety of our members, individuals who wish to volunteer on a regular basis must pass a criminal background check.
Volunteer orientation is an ongoing process of making our volunteers feel welcome and understand our work and mission. Our orientation process will empower you to navigate our organization and our roles, including basic policies and procedures.
