Volunteer

Please Note:

Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are currently only seeking IT Volunteers, Migrant English Program Tutors and Diversity Homework Club Tutors.

Volunteers make BRMC a real community and a thriving hub for community connection and services. BRMC is always in need of people who are willing to help and share their time, talents and skills. We have different programs and activities where you can choose to help. If you don’t have the time to volunteer but are willing to help, we are very happy to accept any treasure you can share with BRMC. If you have any ideas or projects in mind that you think will be helpful to the community you can also share them with us.
