Boys & Girls Clubs Need You!
Boys & Girls Clubs of Thurston County recruits positive, skilled and dedicated volunteers. Volunteer needs and opportunities are ongoing, and we are always looking to expand our volunteer roster. We currently offer one-time volunteer opportunities as well as consistent volunteer positions at any of our seven Thurston County Club settings.

Special Event Volunteer Opportunities
Boys and Girls Clubs of Thurston County offers one-time volunteer event opportunities for our corporate and community partners and groups. These opportunities might include annual special events hosted by our fundraising team or customized Club projects to fit a group’s desired volunteer request.
Customized opportunities typically last 3-5 hours and are completed within the operational hours of our Club sites. Projects range from Club beautification (planting flowers, painting murals) and Club supply drives to literacy activities with Club youth. If you are interested in hosting a special volunteer event, contact info@bgctc.org or call 360-956-0755.
Academic Success
We want every child to graduate from high school with a plan for the future. Our members have resources such as:
- Homework help in the education center
- Reading and writing clubs
- Programs in the tech lab and various art projects
We also have many volunteers who help mentor our club members.
Character & Citizenship
Every day, our members are taught about:
- Being respectful
- Being responsible
- Having integrity in their lives and interactions with others
We maintain these expectations not just for our kids, but also for our staff and volunteers, whose leadership and mentoring help guide our young people by example.
Healthy Lifestyles
We want children to live healthy, active lifestyles and practice making good decisions for themselves. In order to achieve this, we:
- Serve nutritious food for snack sand dinners
- Encourage kids to play sports and be active
- Help them find new ways to communicate in the art and music rooms
- Make sure they are surrounded by great mentors
