Volunteers allow Nassau County kids to benefit from the vast talent and caring in the local community. You don’t need any special degrees to help us.
Volunteers can:
- Help Club staff
- Provide a variety of better and richer experiences for Club members
- Provide more positive adult role models
- Provide help with homework and activities such as athletics, computer learning games, knitting, gardening…
- …and much more!
Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation has merged with Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida. Any mention of either organization should be viewed as the same entity.
If you have a special talent you would like to share with the members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County, we’d love to hear about it. After scheduling a Club tour, all volunteers are matched with their program area of interest. Frequency of participation is determined by the individual volunteer. Volunteers typically donate at least an hour of their time per Club visit throughout the year. All of our ongoing volunteers are required to undergo a fingerprinting and Level 2 background screening for the safety of our members and staff.
One-time volunteers can only volunteer once per calendar year without going through the fingerprinting and Level 2 background screening process.

One-Time and Ongoing Individual Volunteer Opportunities
Individual volunteers help facilitate after-school programs and activities that enrich the lives of our Club members. Volunteer opportunities can be tailored to your special interests and talents. Some are one-time projects and others become ongoing relationships.
