Volunteer Registration Bryan Campus

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Brazos Valley!  Volunteers interested in serving club members as tutors, mentors, coaches, or general volunteers must first submit payment of a $20 background check fee and complete all information on the volunteer application in its entirety. 

A Boys & Girls Club team member will email or call you the results of your background check within 48-72 hours after submitting payment.  Once cleared, volunteers should plan to attend a 1-hour Orientation and Training, given on Tuesdays at 3:30pm at the Boys & Girls Club (1910 Beck St, Bryan, TX 777803). At this Orientation and Training, volunteers will take a tour of the Club, receive guidelines and information, sign the Volunteer Code of Ethics (shown below), and take the online training.

For groups or organizations of 15 or more or any special circumstances preventing attendance of our regularly scheduled Orientation and Training,
please call our Program Administrator, Rodneshia Broades, at (979) 822-7516 for options or possible arrangements.

Should you have any questions regarding volunteer opportunities or the process to become a registered volunteer, please contact Rodneshia at (979) 822-7516.

For COURT APPOINTED COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS, PLEASE DO NOT complete this registration. 

For information about court appointed service hours, please call or email Senior Director of Safety and Facilities, Traci Thomas at [email protected] or (979) 822-7516.

7. Volunteers will treat children of all races, religions, and cultures with respect and consideration. 

8. Volunteers will use positive techniques of guidance, including redirection, anticipation of, and elimination of potential problems, positive reinforcement and encouragement rather than competition, comparison, or criticism.

10. Volunteers will not use profanity in the presence of children or parents. 

11. Volunteers will abstain from humiliating or frightening discipline techniques. 

12. Monetary and expensive gifts to members are prohibited. (Any gifts should be cleared with Senior Director of Safety & Faciities, Traci Thomas.)

13. While the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Brazos Valley does not discriminate against an individual's lifestyle, we will require that in the performance of their time at the Club, volunteers and all adults will abide by the standards of conduct set forth by the Boys & Girls Club. 

14. Volunteers must be free of physical and/or medical conditions that may adversely affect children's health including significant fever (within the last 24 hours) or contagious conditions.

16. Fraternizing (socializing or associating) with BGC Program participants who are under the age of 18 outside of the Boys & Girls Club activities is forbidden (this includes babysitting, dating, texting, social media, etc). Any exception to this policy required written approval by the CEO or BGC Staff designee. 

17. Cell phones are not to be used while supervising children and in program areas. There is an area in the front office where belongings can be left for safekeeping. (If a volunteer needs to step away for an emergency phone call, they will inform the other adults and staff in the group that they need to step away, so children continue being adequately supervised.)

18. Volunteers will support staff directives and assist members in following rules (ex: if a group is asked to line up to move to a different program area, volunteers will assist staff/program leader to get members to line up). 

19.  All adults will respect property and set an example for members (ex: no hanging on basketball goals). 

20. Physical displays of affection must be limited and kept appropriate (ex: side hugs only, no sitting on lap, etc).

Volunteers should always interact and engage with members in designated program areas. When in doubt, ask a staff member!
