Non-mentoring Volunteer Opportunities
In addition to being a mentor, Big Brothers offer a number of volunteer opportunities for people interested in special events, fundraising, and administration. Share your talents, passion, and energy as you help children in the community!
Program Volunteer (Adult)
The Program Volunteer will support a Mentoring Coordinator with facilitating after-school Teen program sessions. These programs take place at various schools across Greater Vancouver. This exciting role will enable volunteers to develop strong leadership and communication skills, as well as contribute to the success of the agency’s mentoring programs. If this sounds interesting to you, you can fill out our volunteer form.
