Individuals:

We are always in need of more individuals to support our Clubs. Individual volunteers often bring a personal commitment, flexibility, and a deep passion for our mission, allowing them to focus on specific tasks and building relationships with Club members and staff. Individuals who volunteer on their own time are typically more adaptable and able to engage in ongoing roles that support our programs. Ready to get started?

Group volunteer update:
Beginning in 2026, Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio will implement a new Corporate Volunteer Engagement Policy for ongoing volunteer groups. A group’s first volunteer engagement will be complimentary. For continued engagement, a contribution structure will help offset project costs, staff time, and supplies. Corporate partners contributing $5,000 or more annually—financially or through in-kind support—will continue to receive full access to volunteer opportunities at no additional cost. The full policy is available here.
