Volunteer

Volunteering at a Barrio Logan College Institute is a great way to help teach young people valuable life lessons, guide in their quest for higher education and learn something about yourself in return.

Working with youth today means a brighter future for everyone. 

When you volunteer at a Barrio Logan College Institute, you can make a difference in the lives of youth and give back to your community. Within the first few minutes of meeting our students and staff, you know you’re in a special place. Filled with the desire to learn and energy of young people wanting a better future and friendly, caring professionals, BLCI is a positive and hopeful environment. Whether you help with homework, share your experience, or teach about a subject, you’ll have the opportunity to build healthy relationships with young people eager for adult guidance, and have a positive impact on their lives. In turn, you will find that spending time with these young people has a positive impact on you as well.
