BGC of Metro South - Farm Volunteer Coordinator VISTA

BGC of Metro South - Farm Volunteer Coordinator VISTA Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South is the preeminent youth development organization in Southeastern Massachusetts, serving more than 2,000 youth annually from nearly 50 communities at our Clubhouses in Brockton and Taunton, Camp Riverside, and community extension sites. BGCMS is fueled by a critical mission "to nurture strong minds, healthy bodies and community spirit through youth-driven, high-impact programming in safe and fun environments" to ensure that every child has a positive place to spend their out-of-school hours. Our Clubs provide youth with the educational, nutritional, and developmental support services they need to reach their full potential and achieve future success. Within these core areas, we engage our kids through daily homework help and tutoring, college and career exploration, creative arts, community service projects, leadership development opportunities, daily fitness and recreation, and much more. Our ultimate goal is to help young people become caring, responsible, and productive young adults. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
