Providing People with Opportunities to Serve Our Community
Looking for a way to give back to the greater Memphis community? Many volunteer opportunities are available through the United Way of the Mid-South and the agencies, nonprofits and community groups we partner with. Whether you want to help out with a specific cause such as helping people with their tax returns, or you want to do something different every weekend, we’ve got you covered.
What Are Some of the Volunteer Roles Available?
Volunteers are needed as Greeter, Screener, Tax Preparer, Quality Reviewer, Site Coordinator, Assistant Site Coordinator, and Cash Coach for free tax prep. There are also other volunteer opportunities throughout the year, such as the “Days of Caring” when volunteers work with the United Way’s partner agencies, nonprofit organizations, and community groups to complete large-scale projects.
The United Way of the Mid-South and its partner agencies offer many other ongoing and meaningful volunteer opportunities. From helping with adult or child literacy to tutoring kids in Shelby County Schools, from food distribution to helping individuals with developmental disabilities, there’s a volunteer opportunity for all kinds of people – college students, retirees and everyone in between. And if you’re pressed for time or not comfortable with in-person activities, there are a variety of virtual volunteering options and donation opportunities.
Helping Others Helps You, Too
Gaining a sense of purpose and self-confidence is just the beginning of the benefits that come from volunteering. It can be easy to get caught up in the stress of work, school, and home in this fast-paced world. Volunteering helps bring balance into our busy lives by allowing time to be more focused on others. It’s also a great way to gain new skills, meet like-minded people and form new relationships.
All of our volunteer opportunities offer an excellent chance for youth and adults of all ages to give back to our community and improve quality of life for our neighbors in the greater Mid-South area.
