Volunteer

CBC strives to expand the quantity and quality of our volunteer opportunities throughout the organization, allowing volunteers and staff the ability to collaborate,  leading to an increased capacity to teach positive life values to youth through boating.

Thank you!

CBC would not be able to run and have the impact it has without your support. We humbly and graciously thank you. Places like CBC can never get too big, because there’s always another kid who can benefit from our programs.
