There are many ways to get involved with Boys & Girls Clubs. A contribution of your time is a wonderful way to make a difference.
A volunteer orientation and Background check are required to ensure member safety, and must be completed prior to volunteer placement. We encourage you to visit North Seattle to discover what volunteer opportunities they have and where your time can make the biggest impact.

Volunteer orientations are held every Wednesday from 6:00-6:30pm. Please fill out the forms below and bring them with you to the orientation. No reservations are required, just show up and we’ll get you started making a difference at the Club!


Some volunteer opportunities may include:
Afterschool Games Room and Gym Activities
Billiards, foosball, ping pong, board games, basketball, soccer, active games, and a playground: Adults are often needed to teach sportsmanship and skills to youth in our games rooms and gymnasiums. Having additional adults around means that our members are surrounded with positive role models. One-on-one interactions between youth and adults is an essential building block for the healthy development of youth.
Teen Nights
Basketball, computers, supervision, concessions, games room:
Teen Night events are for middle and high school youth in our communities. Adults are needed to build relationships with teens and interact with them in this safe, fun, and age-appropriate environment. Volunteers must be outgoing and interested in building relationships with teens.

Education Center and Computers
Homework assistance, tutoring, storytelling, Web design, Internet research, tech support, and supervision:
Today's families are pulled in all directions. It is often difficult for parents to take the time out of their day to help their child with homework. Each day, kids come to our Club looking for assistance and attention. Volunteers are often needed to give each student the attention they deserve. Adult tutors are also needed to meet with youth to help build their skills in a particular area.

Advisors
Torch Club (12–14 years), Keystone Club (14–18 years), SMART Girls:
Youth who understand citizenship will take part in their communities throughout their lives. Volunteers are needed to advise Boys & Girls Club members in the ways of good citizenship, teaching the skills of democracy, planning events, working on a team, and helping others. Volunteers for the above programs must be over 21, and must make a one-year commitment to the group they participate in. Time commitment is beyond four hours per month.

Special Skills
Cooking, art, dance, magic, environmental education, bike repair, music:
Each of us has a special passion. Whether it’s kites, cupcakes, or model airplanes—one-time demonstration or weekly classes—you choose the topic and the format! Don't be shy…your hobby might be just what some child needs to keep him or her going when things get tough.

Maintenance
Construction, painting, cleaning, grounds keeping, landscaping, van repair
Our Club is used by hundreds of kids, and our equipment and facilities get extreme use. If you have a skill or an interest in this area, your help can save the Club dollars better spent on providing activities for youth, and you can help create an environment where members can feel comfortable and be safe.

Fundraising
Special events, board member
Volunteers in this arena work on special events and fundraising for the Clubs.
