Great futures start with YOU. Volunteer. Donate. Fundraise. Advocate.

With more than 50% Schenectady’s youth living below the poverty line, our mission of enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential has never been more important. We are incredibly grateful for our continued relationships with all of our many community supporters who are dedicated to helping us further that objective.

Become a Volunteer

We are always in need of energetic volunteers to support our many programs and offices.

Corporate Volunteering and Peer Fundraising

If you are a business looking to volunteer as a group or a business professional who wants to get involved, we’d love to partner with you! Whether it is a community service project, your own fundraiser to benefit BGCS, serving on an event or board sub-committee, or anything in between, please contact us.
