Volunteer Memphis

Volunteer Memphis, an action initiative of Leadership Memphis.

We are at the heart of volunteering, building capacity for effective volunteering, and connecting people with opportunities to serve throughout Memphis and Shelby County. We work with nonprofits, churches, schools, corporations, and other groups that engage volunteers to make community programs stronger.

We help individuals, families, corporate teams and community groups strengthen Memphis and the Mid-South through service at more than 400 nonprofit organizations and schools. Our volunteers are at work every day of the year tutoring and mentoring children, helping individuals and families make pathways out of poverty, improving our Memphis and Shelby County environment, and more. Volunteer Memphis is also an affiliate of the HandsOn Network, an association of 250 volunteer service organizations across 16 counties.
