Empower kentucky Youth

It can be hard to find time to volunteer in our hectic lives, yet there are many reasons to prioritize giving back to others. When you volunteer at a Boys & Girls Club, you can genuinely make a difference in the lives of young people and give back to your community. It is a great way to help teach young people valuable life lessons and learn something about yourself in return.

Within the first few minutes of walking into a Club, you know you’re in a special place. Filled with the sounds and energy of spirited children, thanks to caring professionals who are dedicated to making a difference, the Club is a fun and hopeful environment. 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 has a positive impact on you as well.

Working with youth today means ensuring a brighter future for everyone. To find a volunteer opportunity near you, get in touch with your local Club.
