Volunteer

“The highest reward for a person's work is not what they get for it, but what they become because of it. ”  
– John Ruskin

Originally founded by volunteers, Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary (BGCC) has been providing safe and positive places for children, youth and families in Calgary for over 70 years! Our positive impact on the communities we serve would not be possible without the dedication, passion and commitment of our volunteers.

Volunteers are a vital part of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary. We believe that every individual who shares their time, heart, skills and interests helps the children, youth and families accessing our programs and services to develop positive life skills and reach their full potential.

What will you gain from this experience?

The benefits of volunteering are endless... Here's a few of the benefits you can expect from becoming a part of our team: a smile on a child's face when you walk in the door, the life-long connections you make with staff and volunteers, the pride of belonging to a passionate and dedicated organization, the training, support, and guidance you receive to help you grow and expand your skills, or a heart-to-heart conversation with a youth struggling with life's challenges.
