Become A Volunteer

Volunteers Make it Happen!

Volunteers are vital to the work of the Community Center. Our volunteers manage our front desk, support and enhance Center programs, represent the Center at tabling events throughout the city, help put on special events and fairs, and more.

In order to become a Center volunteer, you must be at least 16 years old and complete the following:

Online registration and application.
A three-hour volunteer orientation at BEST Community Resource Center. You can sign up for volunteer orientations by speaking to our front desk staff at 216-465-1125.
A background check through Sterling Volunteers. After completing orientation, you will receive an e-mail with the background check prompt. Note: a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from volunteering at The Center, but it might prevent you from working with certain programs or populations of Center guests.
Depending on your volunteer role, there may be further training or interviews required, such as a shadow shift at the front desk or a sit down with a program coordinator.

On some occasions, we are able to accommodate one-time group volunteer opportunities when we have large projects.

For any questions regarding volunteering or if you are interested in/have an idea for a group volunteer project, e-mail Best848@yahoo.com or call 216-465-1125
