If you would like to make a difference in the lives and well being of our youth, you can do so by volunteering your time as a mentor and role model.
Self motivated volunteers and college course or work required community service persons interested in giving their time to the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows are required to go through our screening process. This process will give you an idea of how the Club functions. It will also help us learn a little about you and your reasons for volunteering. The Boys & Girls Club is a youth agency. Members are aged 6 to 18, many of them looking at adults as role models. For this reason, we must make sure we have people of sound character. Prospective persons should follow the steps below:
- Complete volunteer application

Please note the fourth Friday of every month this orientation is held in the Pennington Facility at 1300 Foster Drive in Reno. Mandatory Community Service orientations are held weekly on Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m at the Donald W. Reynolds facility, for youth 13-18 years old and who are enrolled in school.
- All volunteers 18 and over are required to be fingerprinted, at no cost the them, at Fingerprinting Express in Reno.

- Once the background check has been received, reviewed and cleared the Volunteer Coordinator will assign the volunteer based on their interests and schedule.
