Volunteer
Be a role model. Invest your time.
When you make a donation to BGCM or volunteer your time, you provide our
local kids with hope and opportunity. They do better in school, steer
clear of drugs and gangs, and begin to set personal goals for
themselves, which ultimately helps them to become responsible citizens
of our community. Learn more about our success.
From helping with our successful fundraising events to investing in the
success of our club members, each volunteer impacts the lives of our
members. What could your time mean to a child?
Help us accomplish our mission:
"To inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens."
During School Session, the clubs are open Monday - Friday (3-9 pm). Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Opportunities are available at all Clubs in the following areas:
-
Mentoring
- Homework/Tutoring
- Referees and Coaches
- Arts & Crafts
- Computer Lab Supervisors
- Vocational Training
- Fundraising Events
To become a volunteer, please fill out the Volunteer Application and email it to Charles Griffin at charlesg@bgcm.org

Our programs help members through mentoring, homework assistance, leadership development, arts, sports and fitness all for just $10 per child per year.
By investing in our kids, you make these opportunities possible and invest in the future of Memphis. Plus, as a non-profit organization, your donation is tax-deductible. See your tax professional for details.
