Volunteer with Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica

We offer opportunities for individuals and companies to show up for kids!

Corporate Volunteer Opportunities

Engage your team and make a real difference for kids in Santa Monica. We partner with companies to create meaningful volunteer experiences at our Clubs—and we’d love to work with you.

Volunteer events include program support (reading, arts, sports, STEM), Scrub-a-Club and community cleanups, holiday parties, and Career Dash events. Pairing your visit with a donation deepens your impact for the kids we serve.

Fill out our intake form to tell us about your team and what you’re interested in. We’ll follow up with opportunities that are a great fit.

We ask all volunteers to familiarize themselves with our trauma-informed approach. Please watch the video below to learn what that looks like.

Individual and Family Volunteer Opportunities

Whether you’re an individual who wants to make a difference, a high schooler earning service hours, or a family looking to give back together, there’s a place for you here.

Individual volunteers, join us on an ongoing basis to support programs and sports!

If you are an adult interested in joining us as a volunteer, please fill out our intake form and we’ll follow up with our volunteer application. The process includes a background check and orientation.

High schoolers, sign up for Changemakers Club.

Earn volunteer hours. Build real skills. Make a difference.

Changemakers Club is our teen volunteer program for 9th–12th graders who want to give back to their community while building skills that matter. Volunteer in areas you’re passionate about, like sports, arts, homework help, STEM, or reading, and gain hands-on experience in communication, teamwork, and leadership.

Plus, every shift counts toward your school’s service hours requirement.
