What are One-Time Special Events Volunteers?
One-Time Special Event Volunteers are volunteers who do not have the availability or flexibility in their schedule to become a Regular Club Volunteer but still want to get involved and volunteer with the Clubs as their schedule permits. These volunteers receive detailed volunteer opportunities on a monthly basis that share upcoming opportunities and how they can sign up to volunteer. Special events usually occur later on weeknights or weekends and in the past have included: Holiday parties around Valentine's Day, Halloween, etc, basketball, flag football, floor hockey or soccer tournaments, capstone events where volunteers can serve as speakers or session facilitators or additional club events where extra support with registration or youth engagement is needed. Sign up to learn about these opportunities and more by completing the volunteer application below. Completed applicants will be added to the Volunteer Email List and receive updates and information about upcoming One-Time Special Event Volunteer Opportunities.

Does your employer offer an Employee Volunteer Hour Match Program?
*
Yes, my company offers an Employee Volunteer Hour Match Program.
No, my company does not offer a program like this.
I am not sure if my company offers a program like this.
There’s a chance that you work for a company that matches the hours you spend volunteering by providing donations to your favorite organization. Many companies will match an employee’s time volunteering (this includes tasks like regularly volunteering at a club, helping with administrative duties, etc) with a financial gift to Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC) Are you not sure if your Employer offers a program like this? Reach out to your company’s Human Resources Department. If you've made a financial donation, it's possible your employer might match your gift or donate to BGCC based on the number of volunteer hours you have given to the organization.
