Share your passion, talent & skills with Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica.
Volunteers like you make an impact – not only in our organization but in the lives of our members. We’re looking for dedicated people and organizations who are interested in serving 1+ hour per week for an agreed-upon length of time (corporate and/or special group volunteers may provide support in a different capacity). We customize our volunteer opportunities based on your interests. Whether you’re a marketing specialist looking to exercise your skills for greater good, or you’re hoping to connect with youth directly through tutoring or coaching – we welcome your participation.
