Volunteer Opportunities
Serve at a Club
Just a few hours a week in a Club can have a tremendous impact on a child’s life. We count on volunteers to help us carry out our mission. Our Clubs offer opportunities for adults to work directly with youth as homework helpers and tutors, activity assistants, and mentors. There are many ways to get involved at every level of our organization. We are flexible and strive to connect you with an opportunity that fits your skills, interests, and availability.

Become a Committee Volunteer
If you enjoy planning special events and want to help our organization in special fundraising efforts, we welcome you to participate as a committee volunteer. You would be planning and implementing special events that benefit a single Club or multiple. Examples of special events include our Stepping Up for Kids Gala, Harvesting Great Futures Gala, and more!
This type of volunteering is not in a Clubhouse therefore does not require the full volunteer sign up process. To join a committee, contact Sandra Dee Chaney at (559) 266-3117 or schaney@bgclubfc.org.
Donate Items
Supplies for our Clubs are needed year round. You can donate to a specific Club by calling and asking for their wish list. You can also drop off your items at our Administration Office. Check out our donation guidelines before giving.
Donate a new auction item for any of our Galas to be featured in our auctions (silent, premiere, and/or live). Items are accepted year around.
