Please note that we currently do not have any open volunteer positions. However, we are still accepting applications. Interested volunteers will be contacted in August 2008 for opportunities beginning in the fall.
We strongly believe in the valuable role that volunteers play in transforming the lives of our members. As little as one hour per week is all it takes to have a positive impact on a child’s life. Volunteers can get involved through event committees or by joining our Board of Overseers. Every Club offers volunteer opportunities for adults to work directly with youth as mentors and tutors in education, technology, the arts and athletics, and by providing career guidance, internships and college preparation support. We also welcome corporations seeking one day, project-based volunteer opportunities.
BGCB is very serious about our responsibility for the youth in our care. We are proud of our excellent reputation as a safe haven for youth, a reputation that has been earned through more than 114 years of effective service to hundreds of thousands of children and their families in the Boston area. BGCB has been a national leader in adopting significant and proactive child protection guidelines and processes. Therefore, all volunteers must undergo a thorough screening process that includes:
