Volunteer: Lawn Care Assistance for Refugees

One of our roles as Knoxville's only refugee resettlement agency is to find affordable housing for our arriving refugee families. This task comes with unique challenges. One of these unique challenges is the rental agreements and city ordinances that require our refugee families to take care of the yard of their rental property.

We receive a lot of refugee families--many of whom are single mother with young children--who:

Have no cultural knowledge of how to use a lawn mower or do yard work, Do not have the necessary equipment to do yard work, and Have young children and cannot leave these children alone to get out in the yard for an hour or so to do the yard work.

There are opportunities in the Spring, Summer, and early Fall months for volunteers to help us meet the yard work needs of our refugee families and single mothers. This is also a great opportunity for groups that can serve refugee families through cutting grass, pulling weeds, raking leaves, and general yard clean-up.

Special Requirement: The volunteer would need to be able to provide their own lawn equipment and get it to and from the property, since the families do not own any equipment.

If this is an opportunity you or a group you are associated with are interested in helping us with, please reach out to me at pgreen@bridgerefugees.org!

Volunteer: Docents Needed at Memphis Brooks Museum of Art

Do you love art? Do you enjoy interacting with people and sharing information? Are you looking for a regular volunteer commitment with monthly educational and enrichment opportunities? Do you want to meet others in Memphis who also love learning and talking about art?

 

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). 

 

If you are interested in our docent program please contact Kate Langley at 901-544-6244 or kate.langley@brooksmuseum.org

Volunteer: Grounds Hero Series: Tidy Trails Edition

This is Ground Zero for Grounds Heroes! A pre-cursor to our Adopt-a-Trail program, this is an opportunity to get some trail clearing experience while helping out your friendly neighborhood TN State Park!

Our Discovery Loop is 4.5 miles of beautiful woodlands and wetlands, broken up into 6, color-coded sections that make planning trail maintenance much simpler. Our 2-mile Initiation Loop, created for us by the Trail Trippers, is a more difficult-to-hike trail that even has some reforestation opportunities.

Come out and help T.O. Fuller Rangers and Maintenance clear our trails of fallen limbs and trees, cut back encroaching foliage, and pick up any litter that may have accrued. We will usually target 2 sections of the Discovery Loop or half of the Initiation Loop in a given day. We will provide water, but please bring a refillable water bottle.

(p.s. Our next dates are September 14th and September 15th.)

Volunteer: Tax Volunteers (January-April 2026)


You have what it takes to be a VITA volunteer in Kingsport or Blountville!


The Kingsport VITA program is operating two sites this year.  Our first site is in the V.O. Dobbins Community Center located at 285 Louis Street in Kingsport.  We operate this site as a drop-off site.  We do intake by appointment on Mondays from 4:00PM to 7PM.  On Tuesdays from 9:00AM to around 3:00PM we prepare the income tax returns from the batch of drop-offs on Monday (we provide lunch on-site for the tax preparers).  Then on Thursday evening from 4:00PM to 7PM we review the completed tax returns with the clients.  At this site the greatest need is tax preparers, although if your people could help with the intake interviews, this could allow our tax preparers to work on tax returns during the intake sessions.

 

The second site is in the Sullivan County Public Library - Blountville Branch (1655 Blountville Boulevard in Blountville, TN).  This is also a drop-off site format.  This location offers flexible options for volunteers to help perform tax returns.  

Also, if doing taxes is not your "thing", we have a need for intake specialists at both locations. This includes signing people in, making copies of key information, and providing general directions. (No tax knowledge necessary).
