Volunteer: Deliver Meals on Wheels to Homebound Senior Adults!

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.)

Volunteer: Share Knowledge, Connections, and Resources with Students on the Social Platform for Social Mobility

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.

Best way to see how convenient and rewarding being a backr really is? Give it a try, commitment-free:

Sign up on your computer: my.backrs.com

Or get the Backrs mobile app: Apple App Store or Google Play Store

 

Our Impact Model

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.

Watch this video to learn more about the difference Backrs makes for students: Kaothara's Experience

The Backrs Experience 

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

Volunteer: Cradle Gardening Volunteers Needed

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.

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

Volunteer: Foster Parents/Home for Rescued Dogs

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.
