Needs From: Volunteer Memphis

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.

https://www.streetdogfoundation.com/foster-application

All of the dogs below currently need foster homes.

The Brooks' Docent Program, which has been serving school-aged children for 60 years, is looking for Docent Candidates for the Class of 2025. This class of docents will begin training in September 2024. 

The Docent Program consists of a training period and then a service period as a Docent. Though new docent training only lasts four months, docents receive continuous training through monthly meetings led by educators or curators. After completing their initial training, docents select one day of the week to be available for giving tours to school or adult groups. We ask that docents commit to two years of service within the program though many stay and continue to be active for years to come. 

The Docent Program is offering two sections of training this fall, though both will begin in September and end by mid-December. These two sections will specialize in different areas, either School Tour Docents or Specialty Group Docents. 

Training sessions will be offered either on weekends/evenings (Specialty Group Docents) or during the weekday (School Tour Docent).
