Volunteer at a Local Boys & Girls Club
Local clubs need help running homework help, sports, art projects, and mentoring programs for kids after school, and teen volunteers are often welcomed as junior staff or program helpers. Because BGCA is a network of independently run local clubs, the exact role, schedule, and minimum age can vary, so the official volunteer page routes you to your nearest club to apply directly. It is a good option if you enjoy working with younger kids in person.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
