Get Involved!
Bellevue Community Center depends on its volunteers to help fulfill its mission of offering a broad range of educational, recreational, self‐enrichment, and family support services to over 5,000 community members each year.
Volunteering at BCC is rewarding, easy and fun. There are opportunities for groups and for individuals to help with special events, or to volunteer on a recurring basis.
Volunteering at BCC is also an excellent way to add to a resume. Because non‐profit organizations like BCC always need an extra hand, we offer volunteers the opportunity to build unique and useful skills on a flexible schedule.
