Volunteer Testimonials
Volunteer Quotes:"It was an incredible experience overall. Challenging, exhausting, yes. But also very inspiring and fulfilling in the extent of feeling we had collectively succeeded in reaching these clearly 'damaged but salvageable' kids by the time all was said and done. I feel personally very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with the experienced and talented guys on the team." "BCM is a great organization and the program is very thoughtfully and painstakingly put together. I would love to participate in BCM excursions in the future and will never forget this experience!" "Presenting youth with dedicated and positive role models is truly a way to help them to overcome these life obstacles. In this, I feel like we need to take all youth off the rough and tough city streets and allow them to see what beauty is. Big City Mountaineers is a wonderful program and my only wish is that they could do this everywhere it is need. I want to thank all at Big City Mountaineers for helping us at East Oakland Boxing Association for the last two years. We all really appreciate the work you do!" "It was such an honor to participate in the vision of your organization. Your style of teen outreach is so effective because of the trust that is developed between teens and leaders. Additionally, the ratio of teens to leaders allows the teens the opportunity to click with at least one leader. I look forward to the opportunity to participate next summer with BCM." "I must say that in seven years of experience working in the youth development field, your BCM trip was one of the most gratifying...and fun youth trips that I have been involved with. I was very fortunate to have had the privilege of participating. THANK YOU. " "Certainly the BCM trips are for the kids, and their transformations can be astounding and satisfying. But adult leaders on BCM trips likely learn just as much about themselves as the kids do." "This was a growing experience that had a profound effect on my life perspective."
