PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS

  • The most common need for assistance for a Program Volunteer at the Clubs is to help with our Power Hour Program, where you will assist with helping our members with their homework or studying.
  • Hours that Program Volunteers are typically needed are between 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. while our members are a part of our After-School Program. You would not need to be there for the entire 3 hours.
  • Also, sometimes Program Volunteers have a specialty or hobby they want to share with our members as a specialized program. Examples of this in the past have been Lego robotics, gymnastics, cheerleading, music, and so much more. If you are interested in bringing a programmatic specialty to one or more of our branches – please reach out to our Director of Programs, Liz Byrne at liz.byrne@bgcs.org.
