Does BCM have minimum requirements for their volunteers?
BCM requires dedication to the youth population we are serving. We require an seven or eight day commitment as well as pre-trip training sessions. We require that you provide your own equipment (sleeping bag, backpack etc.). We require you to pass a criminal background check. A BCM trip is physically demanding; being in shape and a clean bill of health is necessary. Each member of the team is evaluated and assigned to a trip where their particular skills will be best utilized and complimented by the other volunteers. This evaluation is a comprehensive questionnaire regarding your experience and history both in the outdoors and working with youth.
