WORKING WITH YOUTH TODAY MEANS A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR EVERYONE.

When you volunteer at a Boys & Girls Club of the Mississippi Delta, you can make a difference in the lives of youth and give back to your community. Within the first few minutes of walking into a Club, you know you're in a special place. The Club is a fun and hopeful environment filled with the sounds and energy of spirited children and friendly, caring professionals.

Whether you help with homework, coach a game, or teach an art project, you'll have the opportunity to build healthy relationships with young people eager for adult guidance and have a positive impact on their lives. In turn, you will find that spending time with these young people positively affects you.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS YOU CAN VOLUNTEER*!

• At Your Local Club, You Can:
  • Serve on the local ADVISORY COMMITTEE where you can
  • Be an ADVOCATE for the Club,
  • Lead a "Class" about something YOU love,
  • Coach a Club Team,
  • Become a Mentor to One youth regularly that fits your schedule,
  • Address a need in your community
  • These are just some of the options you have for getting involved with the Club in your community!

• At the Organizational Level, You Can:
  • Become a Member of the Corporate Board of Directors,
  • Serve on a Governance Committee: We have Standing and Ad HOC Committees like Club Safety, Resource Development, or one of our organization-wide fundraisers like Clays for Kids, An Evening of Blues, or one of our others throughout the year.
