Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa (BGCCI) serves kids and teens after school and during the summer, with structured programs and caring staff role models to address the most difficult challenges facing our young people. BGCCI strives to provide high quality service to our Club member families with great communication being a key component. A third of our Club member population is Hispanic and having volunteer Spanish translators would make a huge difference in the lives of our Club members. Volunteers would commit 5-10 hours a month of service. Tasks would include informing families of upcoming events, helping them fill out forms for various programs and assisting the staff at Boys & Girls Club with translation of forms and flyers. If you are interested please contact Elaine Collet, Coordinator of Special Events & Volunteerism 515-262-5695 or ecollet@bgcci.org Thank you so much for considering this opportunity!
