Why volunteer? Volunteering at any age helps connect you with the community and world showing how YOU make a difference. You must be a minimum of 13 years old or in high school to volunteer. We have a variety of opportunities for volunteers to connect with our guests. Students needing volunteer hours for school; please think ahead. It is not always possible to find volunteer experiences immediately. We want to make sure your experience is valuable and what your instructor assigned. Volunteer opportunities are posted each season on our website. All prospective volunteers must complete and submit a volunteer application and waiver & release form. Please fill out the specific application below and fill out and turn in at the BCC Registration Desk or use the fillable form, save the file under your name, and email to Stephanie Fairbanks. If you are selected to be a volunteer you will be required to complete a Criminal Background Check.
