General Volunteer Opportunities

Boys and Girls Clubs make a difference in the community by giving young people a safe place to learn and grow. In 2012, over 20,000 volunteers gave their time, skills and support to our organization.  To learn more about volunteering at one of our local Boys and Girls Clubs, please contact the Club closest to you by using our Find a Club in your community tool!

 

Please Note: All volunteers who wish to volunteer in a Boys and Girls Club will be required to undergo screening, training and appropriate police checks to ensure their safety.

A few examples of how our partners are making a difference in communities across Canada:

	Astra Zeneca:  Astra Zeneca's Young Health Program is an initiative designed to help foster emotional and mental well-being among youth across the country and Community Connection Day is an extension of their commitment to youth.  In 2012, for the second year in a row, more than 250 employees from Astra Zeneca Canada contributed more than 1,700 hours during Community Connection Day, rolling up their sleeves in support of facility improvement projects including:  painting, gardening, small construction projects and programming.  These types of projects would not have been possible without the human and financial resources provided by Astra Zeneca.  ​
​	​Capital One® Race for Kids™: Capital One Race for Kids™ is an excellent way to get both small and large corporate groups volunteering together on the same day! To find out more about Capital One Race for Kids™ and for information on how to get involved at an event near you, visit our website or contact our event manager.
​	​Dell Canada, Fidelity Investments, Maple Lodge Farms, Takeda and Tupperware– Unity Day: Unity Day brings together close to 2,000 Club members and staff to nourish their sense of community by providing all Club members with the opportunity to experience a fun filled day with games, recreational activities and of course food for all. Many of our dedicated corporate volunteers spend the day leading and participating in a wide range of fun and engaging activities.
​	​Rogers Youth Fund: Rogers’s employees give back to their own communities in many diverse ways. In addition to volunteer opportunities offered within the Rogers Raising the Grade program, Rogers employees also volunteer at a variety of local programs and special events within specific Boys and Girls Clubs in their own communities. Together, Rogers and its dedicated employees are helping to make a lasting impact from coast to coast.
​	​WestJet: From holiday parties, dinners, and winter festivals, WestJetters have volunteer their time, energy and skills to help improve the lives of young people living in communities across the country – while experiencing first-hand the tremendous impact they have in their local communities.
