Volunteer Opportunity Logistics

Why is your group/company interested in volunteering with Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago?*

Explain the goals and expectations for your group's volunteer event.*

What type of volunteer engagement would your group like to have at our Club and what does a successful event look like?*

Types of volunteer engagements include facility improvement or beautification, youth games, relays, crafts, cooking, club programs or on-site projects completed at a company's workplace including creating hygiene kits.

What is the range in number of volunteers your volunteer group would have on-site for this event?*

Please anticipate the likely percentage of volunteers who typically drop-off as the event approaches. The usual size of a volunteer group that we are typically able to have the capacity to accommodate is 10-15.

Is there a budget set aside for the volunteer event? If so, what is the amount the group/company would be able to cover for the event.*

An event with a budget would prevent the club from utilizing their own resources. If an event requires youth transportation we graciously request that the group/company covers the cost of transportation. The usual cost of a bus to transport youth ranges between $250-$300.

If the opportunity you are seeking involves hosting youth at your workplace, what is ideal number of youth that you are able to accommodate?*

This question is intended for groups/companies interested in hosting a group of youth at their workplace. If this does not apply to your request, select N/A below.

6-8
