Our school food pantry provides essential support to families by offering fresh produce, shelf‑stable groceries, and household necessities each week. This work ensures that every child in our community has access to the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive. To keep our pantry running smoothly, we rely on volunteers to help unload and organize deliveries. These deliveries often include boxes of canned goods, cases of produce, and bulk items that require moderate to heavy lifting. Volunteers should be comfortable lifting up to 10 pounds and spending some time outdoors while trucks are being unloaded. Your support makes an immediate impact—helping us move food quickly and safely so families can access what they need without delay. Whether you’re an individual or part of a group, your time and strength directly fuel our mission of care and community.

Volunteering is a wonderful way to show your support for Elmwood Cemetery. The history of the place, and the stories of those who rest here, tell the story of Memphis - our story. 

Volunteer Tour Guides inspire a love of local history by guiding youth and adult educational tours of Elmwood Cemetery. Elmwood Staff provide the tour script and training. 

Youth tours are scheduled between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm during the school week and last approximately two hours; adult tours are occasionally scheduled for small private groups. Tour Guides sign up for the tours they are available to lead. 

If you are interested, please respond above and a representative will reach out; if you do not hear back please email historian@elmwoodcemetery.org

What? Volunteers nurture little ones while their parents learn English, practice computer skills, and prepare for the citizenship exam. 

Why? We believe free nursery care helps parents who want to learn valuable skills in REP's adult education programs; a nurturing and enriching environment help stimulate infant growth and ease the burden of separation anxiety. 

We would like volunteer to commit at least one hour a week during adult education classes which are Monday through Thursday 10:00 to 11:30 am and 5:30 to 7:00 pm. 

What: Make students feel welcomed and supported as they complete their homework and develop literacy, math, and social and emotional skills. Volunteers also have the opportunity to become STARS literacy coaches! 

Why: Newcomer students are eager to learn English and excel in the classroom. Providing one-on-one support helps them become and remain active, engaged students. 

We ask for a consistent weekly or monthly commitment, but volunteers have the flexibility to set their own schedules any time between Monday through Thursday from 3:00 to 7:00 pm and Fridays from 3:00 to 5:00 pm.

Volunteers instruct and assist in one of three program areas: 1) English Language Learning (ESOL); 2) Digital Literacy; 3) Citizenship Preparedness

We ask for a once-per-week commitment and provide all lesson plans and materials; available hours are Monday through Thursday 10:00 to 11:30 am or 5:30 to 7:00 pm. 

Why? We know that English language competency, computer skills, and citizenship knowledge are crucial to successful cultural integration; adults are eager to learn English and use it in their daily lives, whether on the job or at their children's schools. 

If this sounds interesting to you, please respond above and a representative will get back to you.

What? Summers at REP mean lots of learning and plenty of fun! 

Why? Summer Break is a great time to focus on skills that are important for academic and life success. Students give input into the activities, topics, and creative endeavors they want to explore; no summer learning loss here! 

Volunteers will volunteer Mondays through Thursdays in June and July, and we ask for a consistent commitment, but volunteers do have the flexibility to set their own schedules. 

Volunteers will build support after-school programming and build lasting bonds with middle and high school students in grades 6 through 12. RDK programming will offer academic skill building, college and career readiness, cultural acclimation support, trauma resilience, mentorship, artistic expression, leadership development, and more!

Programming will be from Mondays through Thursdays from 3:00 to 6:00 pm; all materials will be provided, and REP staff will always be on site.

 If this sounds interesting to you, please respond, and someone will reach out.

Join MIFA's Meals on Wheels Volunteer Family, and help deliver meals to seniors, primarily elderly women in single family homes, who are home-bound for reasons of age and infirmity. Make a tangible difference you can see in real time in the life of our senior clients- each time you hand them a hot, nourishing meal, ask them how they are doing and spread some sunshine into their day!

Meals on Wheels runs every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Volunteers arrive between 9am to 10 am to pick up their clients' meals and deliver them with a smile. Each route consists of 10-20 seniors and takes between 1.5-2 hours. However, each route gives you 3 service hours credit.

If you have a few hours free each week or one or two days free monthly, consider spending them with Memphis seniors! Many of our volunteers have been helping our clients for decades. Many grew up accompanying their grandparents or parents, and now bring their children.

Volunteers must have reliable transportation, and the driver must have a current driver's license. If interested, please respond above and MIFA will email you the link to our volunteer application and training videos or you may visit our website for more information and fill out an application while there: https://community.mifa.org/mealsstarthere

***Please note that a background check IS required, and you must wait until the check is completed before coming in to deliver!

(Not available Monday-Wednesday but have some free time Thursday morning? If so, help MIFA's paid drive team deliver frozen boxes to our Meals on Wheels clients. Each route consists of 10-15 clients. After we process your application, let the volunteer team know you are interested in our Thursday opportunity.)

Do you have a heart for seniors? Are you protective by nature?

If yes, then become a Volunteer Ombudsman Representative- "ombudsman" is a fancy way of saying advocate.
 
Advocate for the rights of residents living in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and residential care homes in Shelby, Fayette, Tipton, and Lauderdale counties.

Trained volunteers pay regular visits to these facilities, where they spend time with residents, monitor conditions, investigate complaints, and protect residents' rights!

If interested, please respond above and MIFA will email you the link to our volunteer application and training videos or you may go to our website for more information and fill out the applicaton from there: https://community.mifa.org/vorstarthere

***Please note that a background check is required and you must have your own transportation.

Are you personable, and do you enjoy chatting on the phone? If yes, MIFA has the perfect volunteer opportunity for you that can be done in the comfort of your home!

On Thursdays and Fridays, our MiPhone Buddy volunteers call up to 10 of our senior homebound clients who receive Meals on Wheels. They check-in and let them know we are thinking of them - and provide some sunshine in their, many times, isolated day! Encouraging words can make all the difference! Please respond to this need and MIFA will send you the link to our website or visit our website for more information and fill out an application while there: https://community.mifa.org/phonebuddystarthere

***A minimum 3-month commitment and background check is required.

Only 3% of high-performing, under-resourced students end up in a great first career experience. On our social platform, professionals like you can help change that.

Here's how:

1. Sign up via your computer at my.backrs.com or by downloading the Backrs mobile app from the Apple App or Google Play Stores.

2. Tell us a little about your background and experiences by completing your profile. This takes 5 mins. (Up to 15 if you'd like to give students more details about your hobbies and interests.)

3. We add you to identity-based, regional, university, and career-path Affinity Networks where you can connect with students you're well-positioned to support.

4. In Networks, you can answer students' questions, post resources or job/internship opportunities, and share insights into your college and career journey by responding to Backstage Pass posts. Though each of these actions takes a few minutes, they all have meaningful impacts on young people.

5. If you'd like to play a more involved role in a student's journey, you can join their panel of backrs. This enables you to view their goals, post on their personal feed, schedule Zoom check-ins, and even contribute to their Flourish Fund. It's a great choice for those looking to offer low-lift, relationship-driven support.

Research shows that cross-class relationships are the biggest predictors of social mobility. And financial margin increases the odds of college persistence four-fold.

We partner with schools and youth organizations to recruit committed high school and college students into our community. Then, by removing the barriers the keep well-resourced adults from connecting with under-resourced young people, our technology builds bridges across socioeconomic strata, enabling people like you to empower students like Diego R.

Diego R. joined Backrs so he could pursue his dream of becoming a biomedical engineer. Thanks to his talent, hard work, and the support he's received from his backrs, he's well on his way to making that dream a reality. As he explained:

"My brother was born with Chronic Kidney Disease. He’s the man who gives me the strength to pursue Biomedical Engineering and become an accomplished technician. I strive to make the lives of those who suffer like him better. I want to be the change he needs to be healthy."

All of the students in our community are driven to build a better world; when they're given the resources to do so, everyone around them benefits.

Being a great backr isn’t about grand gestures or having all the answers. It’s about the small things: sharing a word of encouragement. Passing along a helpful resource. Making an introduction. These actions make a big difference--take it from some of our current backrs: 

"As a backr, I love the opportunity to support and mentor my three proteges as they grow and develop. I feel grateful to be able to guide and shape their future in a positive way. Through Backrs, I have been able to watch them grow into confident and capable individuals, and it has given me a sense of purpose and fulfillment that I can't put into words. It's made a tremendous difference in my life to see them achieve their goals and know that I played a role in helping them get there."

- Ahmed Dawood, Marketer at Apple

"Backrs gives me an opportunity to utilize my expertise to provide mentoring and support to students. Even though my students are a couple time zones away, I have the flexibility to connect with them on my time and have been dedicated to checking my app weekly at minimum to engage in conversations and answer questions. Its exciting to celebrate their wins and talk about future plans. Mentoring was very impactful in my life so it gives me joy to give back in this way."

- Lori Hunt, College Provost

Volunteering is a wonderful way to show your support for Elmwood Cemetery. The history of the place, and the stories of those who rest here, tell the story of Memphis - our story. 

The oblong-shaped marble 'flower beds' were installed in the cemetery by the hundreds many years ago. They have remained empty for up to a century, in some cases. 

Gardeners can 'adopt' a cradle to plant and maintain. They provide the materials, plants, soil and time. Gardeners must commit to two to four hours a week keeping their assigned plots planted, watered and weeded. Elmwood provides access to water, garbage bags, mulch and ant killer.

If you are interested, please respond above and a representative will reach out; if you do not hear back please email historian@elmwoodcemetery.org

Streetdog Foundation does not have a facility, so we depend on volunteers to provide loving foster homes for our dogs while they wait to find the perfect family.  Streetdog provides all of the food, toys, medical care and other needed items. Volunteers provide the love!  We are limited only by the number of fosters available for the dogs we rescue.  Help us save more lives!

There are several options for fostering so that you can choose what best fits your lifestyle. Our Foster and Integration teams are ready to help you find the best fit and to help introduce a foster to any other pets in your household. 

Day Trips: Our dogs in boarding long for companionship, so why not take them to a nearby park for a walk, to a dog-friendly patio for some lunch, or  to meet up with some furry friends?

Weekend/Short Term Foster: When long term fosters go on vacations, or if a dog in boarding just needs a break, weekend fostering lets you spend time with a pup without the long term commitment.

Long Term Foster: Fosters open their homes for dogs until they find the perfect family. This can be several weeks to several months.

If you are interested in fostering for any length of time, please fill out the application linked below.

Volunteers are required to complete a background check before training. Following registration, a background screening link and required documents for review and signature will be sent via email. If not completed, the volunteer will be unable to volunteer.  Click here to begin the onboarding process!
