The Heart of The Bears: Our Volunteers

At The Bears of South Florida, our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. With over 200 dedicated individuals giving their time and energy, we’re able to create the vibrant events and meaningful experiences that bring our community together. Our volunteers are everywhere—greeting members at the door, setting up and breaking down events, bartending, selling merchandise and raffle tickets, running our booth at Pride, and handling the behind-the-scenes work that makes everything flow smoothly. From the first hello to the final goodbye, volunteers make it all happen. What makes our volunteer community so special is the passion and diversity each person brings. Some have been with us for years, while others join when their schedules allow. Some bring specific expertise, while others simply bring enthusiasm and a desire to help. What they all share is a commitment to making The Bears of South Florida a welcoming, fun, and impactful organization where everyone belongs.

Volunteering with The Bears isn’t just about the tasks you complete—it’s about connecting with fellow community members, building lasting friendships, and being part of something bigger than yourself. You’ll get an insider’s view of our events, meet incredible people, and become part of a tight-knit community that supports each other. When you volunteer with us, you’re not just helping run an event—you’re helping create a space where people feel seen, valued, and connected. Ready to join our incredible volunteer family? Whether you have a few hours to spare or want to become a regular fixture at our events, we want to hear from you. Fill out our volunteer intake form and someone from our team will reach out to discuss opportunities that align with your interests and schedule. Let’s create something great together!
