Sign up to be a BRYC VIP!

Step 1: Create Your Galaxy Digital Account

BRYC uses the Galaxy Digital platform to manage our volunteer intake, scheduling, and matriculation processes. We ask all volunteers, even those who are returning, to create a Galaxy Digital account ahead of the upcoming school year.

Create your account at bryc.galaxydigital.com. You’ll be prompted to answer some basic questions. The last registration question will ask if you are ready to commit to volunteering or would like someone from BRYC to contact you.

Step 2: Choose Your VIP Role

If you are ready to commit to volunteering, go to the “Opportunities” section in Galaxy Digital and select “Choose Your VIP Role.” Complete the questionnaire about your role and scheduling preferences.

Once you’ve completed this step, BRYC will contact you to confirm your schedule and share information about volunteer training.

Step 3: Background Check

All BRYC VIPs must pass a background check before working with Fellows. You will begin the background check process on Galaxy Digital, then be automatically directed to our background check provider, Sterling Check.

To start the background check process, go to the “Opportunities” section in Galaxy Digital and select “Complete Your Background Check.” You will be prompted to enter some basic info on Galaxy Digital before creating a Sterling Check account. You will finish the background check process in Sterling Check.

FAQs

I'm a returning volunteer. Do I need to do this, too?

Yes, please! As in previous years when we asked returning volunteers to submit a new intake form, we ask you now to please complete Steps 1 & 2 above to confirm your plans to return and let us know your role and schedule preferences.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to commit yet. What should I do?

Please contact Rachel Stevens, BRYC’s volunteer coordinator, at [email protected] to let her know you are interested and would like more information.

You can also complete Step 1 of the intake process (creating your Galaxy Digital account). When prompted, let us know you would like someone from BRYC to contact you to discuss your questions or concerns. If you ultimately choose not to volunteer, BRYC will delete your Galaxy Digital account.

Please complete Steps 1 & 2 as soon as you know you are ready to commit to volunteering. We aim to have all volunteers in the database and ready for training on August 27. But! You can still sign up after this date and attend the make-up training session on September 8.

Can I create my Galaxy Digital account now and choose my VIP role later?

If you’re ready to commit, we’d be grateful if you would submit your role and schedule preferences as soon as possible. However, you can create an account and come back to finish Step 2 later if need be.

Your privacy and safety are both extremely important to us, as is the safety of the BRYC Community. We use this information to:

Run a background check on every volunteer prior to the school year.
Design a volunteer schedule that’s convenient for you.
Create mutually agreeable Fellow-mentor pairs or groups.
Send you gifts, thank you notes, or program materials.
