Get Involved with BGC Leduc

Are you interested in making a difference in the lives of young people in the Leduc Region? Do people tell you that you are a good listener, hard working and easy to talk to? Do you have a few hours per week you can spare? There are many volunteer opportunities available at BGC Leduc, from long-term support to one-time participation. If you have ongoing hours to give or just a few here and there, please give us a call and we will be sure to have something that supports the Club and your interests!

>Youth Volunteerism: BGC’s Keystone program is a national leadership and volunteer development initiative for youth in grades 7 to 12. It helps young people gain the skills, confidence, and experience to make a real difference — in their Club, their community, and their own lives. Keystone is a great way to meet friends, gain volunteer hours, and create positive change in Leduc.

Each year, Keystone youth members take part in projects and activities in five core areas:

• Leadership – building the skills to inspire and guide others

• Teamwork – collaborating to achieve shared goals

• Healthy Choices – developing habits for lifelong wellbeing

• Service to Club & Community – giving back through meaningful volunteer work

• Learning for Life – growing knowledge and skills for the future

>Adult Volunteerism: We always need positive, engaged adults to work and play with our kids. Do you have a special talent or hobby that you would be willing to share with our kids? From cooking, scrapbooking, music to running, we are always happy to have you come in and introduce our kids to something new and interesting. We will help you with space, materials and set-up, and ensure that everyone (yourself included) has a great experience. After-school, evening and weekend opportunities are possible.

Please note: all volunteers 18+ must provide a clear RCMP Criminal Record Check and government of Alberta Intervention Record Check is required.

We always need emergency, back-up bus drivers! If a company is willing to provide an employee that is able to drive our full size school bus on short notice, we would be your friends for life.
