There are many ways to give. But none have greater impact on youth than building confidence, teaching life skills and helping plan for a great future.


There are a few steps to becoming a Club volunteer...

​

To ensure the highest level of safety for Club members at all of our sites, there are mandatory steps that must be completed before a volunteer or group can be scheduled to serve.

​

1. Complete the volunteer packet found here. You must thoroughly complete all forms and return to volunteers@bgcwestal.org.

​

*NOTE* If you have a large group of volunteers, please designate a leader to collect all completed documents and return in a single .pdf to the email above.

​

2. Once completed paperwork has been received and reviewed, you will be contacted by a unit director to schedule your site tour and Safety Orientation Training course.

​

As part of your Safety Training, you must complete the Erin's Law Certification course at this link. You can email your certificate to volunteers@bgcwestal.org or bring with you to the in-person training.

​

3. All volunteers must pass a standard background check and are responsible for the $16 processing fee. You can pay using this link—put YOUR FULL NAME and BACKGROUND CHECK in the "Add Note" section.
