Membership

My children and I have been volunteering for years, but what I love most about btc is that it’s just my son and me. As he ages, it becomes more important than ever to help him see the world outside of his circle and to experience the joy that comes with serving others. It’s also increasingly precious one-on-one time for us. This is our fourth year of involvement with btc, and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

How to Join a League

01.

All btc leagues have their specific membership boundaries listed on their League home page. Find the league closest to you and make sure your family meets these boundary requirements.

02.

btc’s Prospective Member Drive and Notification occurs in March each year, with some leagues enrolling new members through the summer.  Prospective Members may apply to join only one btc league at any time during their 7th through 11th grade year by filling out the Membership Inquiry Form, found on each league’s homepage.

03.

All Prospective Member Applicants are sorted by their appropriate class. If there are more applicants than space available in a class, the applicants will be selected by random draw to fill the class. We maintain a waitlist should we not have openings in a particular team. Prospective Member Applicants and their families will be contacted by the VP of Membership following the draw.
