Become A Volunteer

There are thousands of adults from countless walks of life, each with their own success story. Ask them where it all started and the answer for many will be the same: their local Boys & Girls Club. But not every story has a happy ending. That’s why our children need help from people who care. Join the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Movement and help us shape a young life. Wherever volunteers serve, their extraordinarily generous contribution of time and service is vital to the success of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley.

Individual Volunteers

Becoming an individual volunteer is the most rewarding and impactful experience you can have at our clubs short of becoming a staff member. You can make a lasting impact on a young person’s life through mentoring, coaching, test prep, or just being a strong role model.

Our individual volunteers can donate their time in a variety of aspects at our organization; may that be through tutoring, athletics, arts, or program specific help. In addition, volunteers with specific talents or passions who wish to teach our members are welcome. For example, running a Lego program or yoga class.
