4. Resources for the program.
Volunteers are welcome to participate in many levels of the club. Opportunities include, but are not limited to:

- Program Leadership & Support
- Facility Maintenance
- Fundraising
- Special Events
- Board of Directors
Program Leadership & Support
The Comox Valley Boys & Girls Club offers programming for children aged 7-12 throughout the school year and in the summer. Volunteering in children’s programs during the school year can be done on a short term (8 weeks, once per week) or longer term (10 months) basis. For Summer Day Camps, volunteer times can be coordinated to fit the schedules of the potential volunteer.
Volunteer opportunities are available for youth mentorship programs. These programs, Mentoring Young Men and Mentoring Young Women, are based on a group mentorship model- the programs are activity based and occur in a group setting with a staff facilitator.
For more information, or to apply to be a volunteer, please call the club at 250-338-7582 or email Joanne Petersen at joanne@cvboysandgirlsclub.ca
