Many of our members are in need of a positive role model and would benefit greatly from the individual attention of a caring adult. A mentor is paired with a Club member to meet on a weekly basis. We ask mentors to make a minimum time commitment of one hour per week for a full school year. A set appointment time will be agreed upon by the volunteer, the Club member’s parent/legal guardian and the Club member. Activities during the mentoring session will differ upon both the Club member and the volunteer. Anything that offers positive reinforcement to the Club member and signals to them that they have the respect and admiration of an accomplished adult will do wonders for the member.
We have group orientations every Tuesday at 6pm at the O.K. Clubhouse and Wednesday at 7pm at the Clinton & Gloria John Clubhouse.
The address for the O.K. Clubhouse is:
4040 Plomondon Street
Vancouver, WA 98661.
The address for the Clinton & Gloria John Clubhouse is:
409 NE Anderson Road
Vancouver, WA 98665
If you are interested in volunteering with us, please RSVP by emailing volunteer.elementary@mybgc.org or by calling (360) 313-5704 to schedule an orientation!

Mission Statement
To enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential and be the productive, caring responsible citizens they can be.
Description
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Washington seeks to provide a positive environment, quality programs, and lifelong learning skills for all school age youth in Vancouver and its surrounding areas, with special concern for those coming from disadvantaged circumstances. Instead of walking the streets or being home alone, youth come to the Club where trained professionals provide: a safe environment for kids to have fun and be themselves; constructive programs that channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits; and supportive relationships that help build young people’s self-esteem.
