Become a Partnering  Community-Based Organization

SOURCE (Student Outreach Resource CeEnter) has many services to offer our partnering Community-Based Organizations (CBOs).

By becoming a Partnering CBO, we will advertise and recruit volunteers for your agency, share information regarding your services with all student organizations, include your CBO in our annual Volunteer Fair (held in September) and much more! However, we are unable to GUARANTEE volunteers. The Johns Hopkins University Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health students, faculty, and staff use our resources to find community involvement opportunities that match their needs. Partnering CBOs are added into our searchable database. Members of the East Baltimore campus search the database by specific criteria to find a perfect match.

Application Process:
Please note that we only accept partners in Baltimore. Additionally, we are not accepting new Tutoring/Mentoring partners at this time. We highly recommend that you carefully review Step #1 before moving forward with an application.

1.    Review both the "Partner Criteria"  and "Mutual Expectations"  to determine if your CBO would like to consider a partnership with SOURCE. These documents contain the basic criteria needed to qualify for partnership and the expectations associated with working in partnership with our center. If you would like to move forward with the application process, continue to step 2.

2.   Complete a "SOURCE CBO Partnership Application" and return it to SOURCE. We accept applications for new partners on an on-going basis.

3.   Upon receipt of the SOURCE CBO Partnership Application, time will be set up to discuss a potential partnership by telephone. (Please note that during busy periods of operation, the initial phone interview may not be scheduled immediately. We currently have a large number of applications to review.)

4.    If a partnership is deemed to be promising at this point in time, a site visit to the CBO will be scheduled.

5.    Following the CBO site visit, a committee of representatives (including students, faculty, staff, and community members from SOURCE's Governing Board and Community Council) will decide if a particular CBO should be added to SOURCE's network of partners.

In exchange for our services of advertising your opportunities, we ask that you notify us when a Johns Hopkins student, faculty, staff member, or student organization volunteers with your organization. We rely on reports from our Partnering CBOs to track important statistics for our center. If you have any further questions, please use the contact information below.
