Volunteer Tour Guide for Professional Staff »
Location: Main Campus
Hours: 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. or 3:45 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. | Tuesday – Friday
Volunteers provide an hour tour of Cleveland Clinic main campus for professional staff during their pre-employment orientation day. Each volunteer will be trained to give an engaging tour of main campus for 4-8 newly hired professional staff members. Since this volunteer assignment is only one hour, it can be combined with 2-3 hour shifts in another volunteer role elsewhere (Emergency Department, Nursing Unit, etc.). This role requires a very reliable volunteer with an outgoing and friendly personality along with a professional appearance.

As a welcoming presence at the front doors of our Family Health Centers and Community Hospitals, Volunteer Greeters put a personal touch on patient and visitors' experiences through their greeting, escorting, giving directions and prevailing wheelchair assistance.
We are looking for compassionate, engaging individuals who like to help others and can stand and walk 3 - 4 hours at a time.
