Volunteer: Be A Youth Mentor

World Relief is looking for male and female mentors. Bilingual in English and Spanish is preferred but not required.

The Youth Mentoring Program at World Relief Memphis is designed to pair young refugee participants with mentors from the community who are dedicated to helping them identify and achieve their short-term and long-term goals.

Mentors walk alongside refugee and immigrant youth ages 15-24 with the goal of developing mutually transformative relationships. The youth set their life, career, or educational goals and mentors meet regularly with the mentees to provide support, find resources and build relationship.

This program is focused on promoting positive civic and social engagement.

Men are especially needed at this time, but women may apply as well, with the understanding that there may be a waiting period before being matched with a mentee.

Time Commitment

Mentors commit to meeting together every other week for 6-12 months. High school aged mentees and their mentors meet every other Wednesday night in a staff-led group setting. Young adult mentees and their mentors meet 4 hours per month on their own time and location to discuss progress with goals.

Volunteer Onboarding is required before volunteering:

The volunteer onboarding steps are required before you can begin as a volunteer. These onboarding steps help you get to know World Relief, help us get to know you, and help protect you and our clients from harm.  Check your email for a message from your Volunteer Coordinator with next steps.

You can jumpstart your onboarding by filling out the short term/long term volunteer application in the World Relief Portal.

Volunteer: MyRide West Tennessee Waymaker

At MyRide West TN, we are dedicated to supporting as many older adults as possible. We are always striving to make a difference in people's lives! You can help us with that mission by by becoming a "Waymaker". Our volunteers drivers do more than just drive, they are a listening ear, a hand to hold, a smile when someone is down and a friendly face. So we like to say we have "Waymakers" because they 'make a way for our older adults in our community'. We only ask our "Waymakers" to commit 3 hours a month, but encourage you to do as much as you feel led to do.

Volunteer: Empower others to help shelter animals by becoming a Volunteer Coach

McKamey Animal Center is seeking volunteers who are passionate about inspiring others to create a better world for the animals who need us the most. 2025 will be a challenging year for shelters nationwide, and MAC is no different. We need all the help we can get to ensure the best quality of life for the animals we serve. That all starts with making sure our volunteers are trained properly.


Volunteer Coaches will be the first set of friendly, helpful faces that new volunteers encounter when they come into the shelter for the first few shifts. These coaches will be responsible for ensuring all Volunteers are trained effectively and are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to make an impact on the lives of the animals we serve. Coaches will be asked to work with new volunteers in specific roles within the program. Coaches are asked to work with at least two volunteers per month, and may accept as many as they are comfortable with. Coaches will be provided training on the role (Canine Companions, Feline Friends, etc...) from a current coach, and will be provided a checklist to ensure they cover all of the most important information. 


Coaching areas:

- Shelter Stewards: All of the basic functions that help us operate efficiently day-to-day. These tasks include, but are not limited to, laundry, dishes, sweeping/mopping, cleaning windows, changing trash bins, etc...

- Feline Friends: As the name suggests, these volunteers are all about the kitties! Coaches will teach new volunteers how to create and distribute cat enrichment, how to safely socialize, and how to clean/spot clean cat condos.

- Canine Companions: These Volunteers get the opportunity to love on thousands of dogs each year. Coaches will teach volunteers how to create/distribute enrichment, take the pups on walks and to our play yards, how to clean/spot clean kennels, and so much more. 


Do any of these areas jump out to you? If you have questions about this position, please contact Austin Stiker, Volunteer Manager, at volunteermanager@mckameyanimalcenter.org

Volunteer: Volunteer Mentor - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarksville

Mentors (Bigs) enjoy spending time with their mentee (Little) in the community. We have children in the Rutherford area waiting for a mentor. 

The decision to become a volunteer mentor is a great one, and an opportunity that will change the life of a young person for the better. We make a difference by creating professionally supported one-to-one matches for kids who want to reach their full potential. But we can't do that without you. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee offers 4 different mentoring programs, so you can mentor through the program that works best for you! Currently, BBBSMT Community-Based and Sports Buddies programs have resumed in-person programming and match activities while our E-Mentoring and Site Based programs continue to offer programing and match activities virtually.

Our Community-Based program is our core, and what most people think of when they imagine a Big Brother/Little Brother or Big Sister/Little Sister friendship. You will contact the Little and their guardian, and arrange for a time to get together on a weekday evening or during the weekend. Please note that this program is active only while school is in session.

In Site-Based mentoring, Bigs and Littles meet weekly at a consistent time and place throughout the school year.  At the match site, which is the Little’s school, they spend time together doing activities. Matches play games, work on crafts, do shared projects or homework — anything they can do together at their site.

Our Site-Based LGBTQ-Focused program is focused on providing LGBTQ+ youth in Metro Nashville Public Schools with supportive mentors. Mentoring will take place virtually through an app called MentorHub, with the expectation that you’ll maintain regular, weekly contact with your Little for at least one year. Please note that this program is active only while school is in session.

In our E-Mentoring program, you and your Little Brother or Little Sister will meet in person, then communicate online working through a number of structured exercises and surveys throughout the week, from anywhere. Please note that this program is active only while school is in session.

Our Sports Buddies program develops one-to-one mentoring friendships between an adult and a child through participatory and spectator sporting events. Activities are designed to deepen mentoring relationships while supporting self-confidence, goal setting, collaboration, skill development, and healthy lifestyles.
