We are always looking for groups who are willing to donate their time to the Boys & Girls Clubs. Your group could assist with programming in our three priority areas: Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Good Character & Citizenship. Activities include homework help, assistance and mentorship during academic programming, recreation, athletics, college and career readiness, and art. We also welcome groups who have a special skill or talent that they would like share with our Club members. Group volunteering can be youth-focused or project-focused (i.e. painting, clean up, etc.). Your group could also plan a special event for our youth, for example: Track and Field Day, Bingo Night, Game Tournament, etc.
Typically there is not a time commitment for group volunteers, however there is an option for your group to volunteer regularly if you are interested.
Program hours during regular school days take place from 2:00-9:00pm; most need for volunteers is between 2:00-7:00pm. Program hours during any day that school is closed (i.e. summer break, spring break, winter break, etc.) take place from 8:00am-5:30pm. All programming occurs Monday-Friday.
There are various Club sites throughout the Twin Cities, including 5 Clubs in Minneapolis, 3 Clubs in Saint Paul, and 2 Clubs in Richfield, in addition to our residential camp (Voyageur Environmental Center) in Mound, MN.
