Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer of the Month

January Volunteer of the Month
Jeanne Heywood

Jeanne is a volunteer in our Clubhouse Art Center! She comes in three days a week to help Nelia and teach kids how to make paper crafts. With Jeanne’s guidance, kids have the opportunity to make paper boxes and learn new crafting techniques.

Jeanne volunteers because she enjoys kids and likes being connected to the community. When Jeanne is not volunteering, she operates a small paper craft business, woks part time at H&R Block and spends time with her family.

There are many opportunities available to volunteer with the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis! Donating your time is a wonderful way to help make a difference in the lives of Corvallis youth.

All interested volunteers will pass a criminal background check and attend a 30 minute Volunteer Orientation prior to starting.

Some of Our Volunteers

I am so grateful to be involved with such a good organization like the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis. I am so glad that they keep taking me back as a volunteer!
- Letetia Wilson
I love kids and know how important the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis is to the children of our community. It is easy to be inspired by the kids at the club and so heartwarming to see them grow and mature with the love and support they receive there day in and day out.
- Ryan Sparks DMD
I volunteer at the Club because of the satisfaction I receive from helping others. I love children and feel so blessed that I can help relieve and/or eliminate their dental pain and fear of "going to the dentist". The many hugs I get from the kids are enough of an incentive to continue to help them for as long as I am capable of doing so.
- Dr. Ken Johnson
