How can I volunteer ?
Friends of Boys’ Village (FOBV) was established in 1976 with the charge to educate the community about The Village Network (then known as Boys’ Village). For more than 30 years FOBV has contributed thousands of dollars to help make a difference in the lives of troubled and traumatized youth. Our volunteers do not work directly with the youth but provide organizational and financial support.
