Boys and girls club volunteer online form application

Change the world. Start with a child.

As little as one hour per week is all it takes to have a positive impact on a child’s life. Click here to review the list of programs our volunteers support. The greatest time of need for volunteers is in the immediate after school hours of 3-5:30 p.m.

If you are interested in volunteering with Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, complete the application that best fits your interests and availability.

For volunteers who have availability to volunteer 1-2 hours one day a week for at least 3 months.

For volunteers who do not have regular weekly availability but can occasionally volunteer.

For volunteers interested in our

Pitch, Hit, and Run event.

For those interested in becoming a sponsor or conducting a supply or gift drive with your company.

What is the volunteer application process?

• Complete the online volunteer application, and if application is accepted, the next step is a meeting with Club staff.
• If the opportunity meets the Club's needs and the volunteer expectations, the volunteer attends an orientation, completes a background check, as well as the Illinois Mandated Reporter Training.
• The Volunteer Coordinator notifies staff and volunteer when background check has been cleared and all requirements have been completed.
• Finally, the volunteer can contact Club to establish schedule and start volunteering.

Not everyone who completes an application is accepted to volunteer. Factors that contribute to this are:

• Club capacity to on-board additional volunteers
• Volunteer’s availability does not fit the time of need
• Volunteer is not able to commit to minimum length of time

Please note we do not accommodate for court-ordered community service hours.
