Volunteers | Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake & Johnston Counties

Change a Life Here

Volunteers give Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake & Johnston Counties the steady presence and encouragement that help local kids grow.

Why do volunteers matter?

One consistent adult can change a child's trajectory.

Volunteers bring mentorship and encouragement to the 3,455 young people served each year across ten Clubs. You don't need to be an expert. You need to be reliable and present.

How do I volunteer as an individual?

Individual volunteers must be 18 or older.
We do not place volunteers completing court-ordered or court-recommended
community service in our Clubs, regardless of the offense.

There are three steps to get started:

STEP 1
Background Check

Pay for your background check.

STEP 2
Volunteer Application

After payment, you'll be directed to the volunteer application.

STEP 3
Meet Our Team

Our Community Engagement Manager will email you to finish the process.

How do groups volunteer?

Groups of employees, coworkers, or families can volunteer through a project on our Menu of Opportunities. Complete the group application form and our Community Engagement Manager will follow up.

Many companies that support employee volunteering also give to their charity partners. If yours offers corporate sponsorship or matching gifts, share the name and email of the right contact when you reach out.
