Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Boys & Girls Clubs! Volunteers are a vital part of our team and can bring a positive experience to many our youth. There are many ways you can donate your time and make a difference!
We offer three types of volunteer opportunities:
Corporate Volunteers (who support us through company based initiatives)
Event Volunteers (who assist with events)
Club Volunteers, Mentors, and Tutors (who work directly with our children)
General Volunteer Service Hours
We value our high school and college age volunteers! If need need volunteer hours for your club or organization, we make it easy to track your time while helping us out in a BIG WAY. As a VOLUNTEER, you’ll be assigned to a program area within the Club where you’ll lend a hand to a staff member as they lead the group through the planned activities for that day. Our program areas include art, reading, STEM, recreation, and fitness, to name a few. If you're there during Power Hour, you’ll spend time helping kids with homework and helping them understand the school work they’ve been assigned that day.
Corporate Group Volunteering is ideal for companies, organizations and schools that would like to participate in one or more special activities at our Clubs. This is an excellent way to incorporate team building and boost morale while providing an immediate benefit to the youth served by Boys & Girls Clubs of the Chattahoochee Valley. We can help you design and execute a customized project that aligns your company’s interests and values while fulfilling a need at a Club. Examples include Scrub-A-Club, where a group performs small renovation projects such as painting and building furniture; and Adopt-A-Club, where a company can sponsor a holiday party or back-to-school drive.
If your company would like to schedule a large group project, please contact Larry Underwood at lunderwood@bgc-colsga.org
Please allow at least four weeks of notice between contacting us and the scheduled date of your project so that we can coordinate the best experience for you.
Let us know if you want to be on the call list for special events like the Upatoi Polo Cup,Youth of the Year, or summer field trips.
Are you a student looking for service hours? We would enjoy having you at one of our Club locations! Feel free to reach out to a club director or e-mail us at: volunteers@bgc-colsga.org

As a VOLUNTEER MENTOR, you’ll meet with a particular Club member (your mentee) for at least 1 hour per month for the duration of 1 year. You’ll develop a one-on-one relationship with that Club member while serving as a positive role model, friend, listener, and guide.
