Looking for a flexible way to volunteer between classes? Become a Pet Chauffeur with Pawster!

Pet Chauffeurs help transport cats and dogs to foster homes, veterinary appointments, and wherever they need to go. You'll also deliver food, crates, and other supplies to foster families. Every ride you give helps keep pets safe and supports families going through a difficult time.

All you need is:

Once you complete orientation, you'll be added to Pawster's Pet Chauffeur list. When a transport is needed, you'll receive a request. If you're free, you can accept it. If not, no worries! Just wait for the next opportunity!

Whether you're looking to earn volunteer hours, make an impact on your own schedule, or simply want an excuse to spend time with adorable pets, being a Pet Chauffeur is an easy way to help this semester.

Sign up today and help keep pets moving toward home. 

Missing your dog back home? We've got the next best thing.

Being away at school often means being away from your four-legged best friend, too. If you're missing your daily walks, tail wags, and puppy cuddles, fostering a dog through Pawster is a meaningful way to fill that gap while helping a family in need.

Pawster provides everything you need, including training, supplies, veterinary care, and transportation. You provide the belly rubs, walks, treats, and a safe place to stay.

Fostering is flexible enough to fit a college schedule. There's no long-term commitment, and you can earn volunteer hours simply by opening your home to a dog who needs temporary care.

When you foster with Pawster, you're helping more than just a dog. Pawster specializes in Crisis Foster Care, which means your foster dog already has a loving owner who is temporarily unable to care for them. You'll give them a safe, caring home until they're ready to be reunited. While your information remains confidential, Pawster fosters often say the most rewarding moment is watching their foster dog return home to the family that loves them.

Whether you're missing your dog from home, looking for a reason to get outside between classes, or hoping to make a difference this semester, fostering is a rewarding way to help a pup, and the people who love them.

Sign up today! If you love dogs, you're already qualified to be a Pawster Foster.

**NOTE: Belmont, Fisk and Trevecca Universities, do NOT allow pets in on-campus housing. This opportunity is only available to students who live off-campus and whose landlords allow pets. All students should verify with their landlords that pets are allowed before signing up to foster.

Missing your cat back home? We've got the purrfect solution.

College is exciting, but being away from your pets isn't always easy. If you're missing your furry best friend, fostering a cat through Pawster is a great way to get your cat fix while making a real difference.

Pawster provides everything you need, including training, supplies, veterinary care, and transportation. You provide the love, attention, and cozy place to call home.

Fostering is also perfect for busy student schedules. There are no adoption fees or long-term commitment, and you can earn volunteer hours simply by giving a cat a safe, temporary home.

When you foster with Pawster, you're helping more than just a cat. Pawster specializes in Crisis Foster Care, meaning your foster pet already has a loving owner who is temporarily unable to care for them. You'll care for their cat until they're ready to be reunited. While your information remains confidential, Pawster fosters often say the best part is seeing their foster cat return home to the family that loves them.

Whether you're homesick, missing your own pets, or just looking for a little extra joy this semester, fostering is a meaningful way to make campus life a little cozier - for you and for a cat in need.

Sign up today! If you love cats, you're already qualified to be a Pawster Foster!

Through one-on-one sessions, group discussions, and structured activities, mentors serve as role models of integrity and accountability, encouraging youth to pursue education, employment, and personal development.

Do you have 1 hour that you are willing to give to a student each week? If so, we would love for you to consider becoming a LUNCH BUDDY! 

Lunch Buddies are volunteers who go into a school to meet with a student once a week during the student's lunch period. The volunteer and student have some time together to build a relationship and do various activities together, including playing games, coloring and reading together. 

This is a program where volunteers get to help students see and reach their full potential, because at PTM, we know that close positive relationships help students THRIVE! 

All participating schools are elementary schools in Northwest Nashville (37208 or 37209).

Lunch times range from 10:00am to 1:00pm.

Volunteers will need their own reliable transportation to get to each visit. 

This is the volunteer need we are recruiting for MOST! Our goal at PTM is for every student to have a mentor, and students LOVE having a Lunch Buddy! We are especially in need of male Lunch Buddies as we have many male students asking for a Lunch Buddy and few male mentors!

Do you find Medicare interesting?

Would you enjoy being a popular resource on all things Medicare for your friends, family and the community?

Then this opportunity is for you! Volunteers with the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) will learn how to break up the complicated issue of Medicare into bite size pieces for others and provide assistance to them in choosing the Medicare plans and assistance options (if applicable) that are right for them. You will learn to provide unbiased and accurate information to anyone you assist. 

SHIP Volunteers will be able to give clients peace of mind and can witness first-hand the impact they are making in the beneficiary's life with the information they provide. 

This training is designed for new volunteers to the program. Attendance of all activities are required to become certified as a counselor. The classes will build on each other, so it is important not to miss a session.

For volunteers who'd like to attend events to share Medicare information and do plan comparisons or administrative work for the program but NO direct client counseling there is the option to attend just up to the second-class session.

Any volunteer who would like to be a full counselor will need to attend the full curriculum (all three class sessions as well as participate in the required activities in-between the sessions). Full certification as a counselor requires a minimum of 12 hours of in class training AND additional mentoring thereafter until the volunteer is able to provide counseling on their own. 

Medicare Volunteer Certification Curriculum

Class 1: Thursday, August 6 from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm (virtual via Microsoft Teams)

Class 2: Friday, August 14 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm (in-person at GNRC's offices)

Class 3: Friday, August 21 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm (in-person at GNRC's offices)

Part of your training is hands-on experience. You can participate in a variety of different events. The event schedule will be provided during the first session. In addition, we will schedule counseling calls for you to observe. You will be asked to provide your availability to shadow counseling calls prior to the start of the cohort. 

We will go over the training schedule with you to determine what level of training and commitment is best for you. Application forms and initial conversation with the Volunteer Manager are required for participation. Volunteers who can be involved regularly usually do best with this type of volunteer opportunity as it is very knowledge based. Please reach out with any questions to Rebecca at rnofi@gnrc.org.

Here at Room In The Inn, we provide over 250 meals a day. We are always in need of volunteers Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11am - 1pm to help us provide the best lunch service possible. Our lunch program is a great way to engage with those experiencing homelessness while giving back to our community. 

Please reach out with any questions or to get scheduled!

We are in need of volunteers on Thursdays in one of our ELL classes at The Branch Mondays(6:15-8:15) or at The Southeast Branch of Nashville Public Library (6:00pm-7:45pm). This need would ideally be served by someone who can make a weekly commitment. Meet and greet adults who are taking English classes at The Branch. Direct them to their classes and serve as conversation partners for workbook and conversation activities and assist teacher with reading, writing, and in-class activities. 

We help clients connect to the right person in the right organization fort heir immediate
need, whether it’s housing, immigration, healthcare, job help, or more. We are trusted
connectors to resources, people and, programs. Ideally, but NOT required a resource navigator speaks- Spanish or Arabic to best communicate with many of our neighbors.

How It Works
As a volunteer resource navigator, you will be part of the Comprehensive Care program
at The Branch. You will:
Schedule volunteer shifts with Ashley Smith. The commitment is a minimum of 8
hours a month (that’s either two full volunteer shifts from 10-2 or four, half-time
shifts from either10-Noon or Noon-2)for at least 3 months.
Attend a training during your first navigator session. You’ll learn about the resources
available to clients, the tools we use to help our clients, and the process to follow
when a neighbor comes to the pantry and has needs beyond food.
You will be at the front desk during food pantry hours. You will talk to clients as they
come into The Branch to fill out paperwork; you’ll go out to their cars to see if they
need help navigating to other resources.
Document all referrals you’ve provided clients (this will be part of the training) on the
same day of your volunteer shift.
At the end of your 3-month commitment, meet with Ashley to discuss your
experience and if you would like to continue for another 3 months, or to take a break
for the next 3 months and then come back for another 3 months.

Learn about the benefits of plant-based diets for environmental and social justice. Choose popular meals from on-campus eateries and learn how they can be made plant-based. Research emissions saved from making the recipe plant-based rather than animal-product-inclusive. Communicate and propose the resources and your recipes to dining staff at your university.

Overview: Learn about the relationship between food and the environment, focusing on the environmental benefits of a plant-based diet. Plan and execute an event on campus that highlights the accessibility of plant-based foods, communicates environmental issues through the lens of our food system, and brings the campus community together.

Learn about the current state of food, environmental, and relevant policy, such as the FISCAL Act, the Farm Bill, and other local bills. Then, write a letter to the editor responding to a published article about one of these bills or an op-ed sharing your viewpoint more generally about these policy proposals. Attempt to get your piece published in a school newspaper, a local outlet, or even a regional or national one!

Learn about the benefits of plant-based diets for the environment and environmental justice. Then, brainstorm a campaign aligned with Switch4Good’s mission and branding to push for a more dairy-free world, focusing on environmental motivators. Generate the outline of your proposed campaign and create sample assets. 

Learn about the benefits of a plant-based diet for environmental and social justice. Then, share this information with the public by writing a series of articles elaborating on the connection between food choices and the environment. These articles will be eligible to be posted on the Switch4Good blog. 

Stages:

Investigation

Research and identify potential topics within the broader topic of food choices and the environment. 

Survey your peer group or whoever your target audience is to better understand what information they lack or what they wish they knew more about.

Preparation and Planning

Determine the focus of research and writing based on criteria such as urgency of the issue, level of public awareness, and personal interest. 

Determine the scope of research and writing to cover the subject matter. Each article should be at least 1,000 words long, and the project requires at least 3 articles, but it is up to you if you’d like to write about three topics or write a series about one topic. 

Research the connection between food and environment independently and with the support of Switch4Good materials and team.

Organize research, draft a thesis statement, and write an outline.

Action/Demonstration

Write!

Reach out to personal, professional, and academic connections for edits and revisions. Lucy from Switch4Good is also available for review at any point during these steps.  

Repeat steps up to this point for each article written.

We are looking for dedicated and passionate volunteers to help support our mission of guiding refugees as they move on a path from surviving to thriving by tutoring high school students in English, Science, and Math. 

Our youth program meets in person every Thursday afternoon. No previous experience in tutoring is needed, but a basic understanding of high school level English, Science, and Math is necessary.

We are looking for dedicated and passionate volunteers to help support our mission of guiding refugees as they move on a path from surviving to thriving through our mentorship program.
We'll match you with a client to meet with as a mentor at least once a month for 3-6 months. Mentorship could include opportunities such as helping a client schedule appointments, providing transportation to a store or food bank, or simply sitting in their home to have tea and practice English. 

A background check is required and orientation provided.

Students who sign up for this opportunity are usually asked to perform the following general activities:

Rehearsals have more detailed tasks. When this opportunity arises, an email will be sent to the student body, detailing specific needs, duties, days, and times.

This opportunity is available to any student at Fisk. Signing up for this opportunity means the Music Department may contact you in advance of the event for your availability. Volunteers are asked to be prepared to wear black for most formal events. No, you will not be asked to perform or sing. :-)

Conversations to Remember is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated towards combating loneliness and isolation felt by senior citizens. Our virtual visit program matches 2-3 college students with residents of long-term care, assisted living, and memory care communities for virtual video visits. These residents have been suffering from isolation, and students really brighten their days just by speaking with them. We provide training to the students in the program about the best ways to interact with the seniors, as well as additional support throughout their service. Since these visits are virtual, students can do it without any travel. This is both convenient and allows more of the volunteers' time to be spent volunteering, rather than commuting to their volunteering location. We provide this program free of charge to seniors across the country, and have students from around the country as well. Typically, students volunteer 1-2 hours per week. Each call lasts up to one hour, based on the senior's attention span and mood on each day. We expect students to volunteer for approximately 16 weeks, so that they can build a friendship with the senior. This does not need to coincide with the start of a semester, as we have new seniors starting all the time and train new volunteers weekly. The students are matched based on the times that they're available with a senior who is available at the same time, and they will have a regular, weekly appointment for their visit. Students wishing more visits or other opportunities that allow them to volunteer more hours can be accommodated with different ways to volunteer, such as assisting us with our social media, call support, or marketing. Please register to volunteer on our website, at https://conversationstoremember.org/volunteer.

Interested in a career in special education, occupational therapy, social sciences, or psychology? We are seeking peer mentors and volunteers to support our program both on-site and through our community partnerships, with opportunities available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. In this role, you will participate alongside trainees to model positive behaviors, encourage engagement, and help foster communication, problem-solving, and social connections within an inclusive, supportive environment.

This is a collaboration between the Delta Chi Chapter of Iota Phi Lamba Sorority Inc. and Alpha Chi Queens to  help students build organizational abilities and decision-making skills. This event will teach our campus more about the importance of planning ahead, as well as providing an engaging event for students on campus.

The Nature Discovery Program is a partnership between Friends of Warner Parks, the Warner Park Nature Center, and Metro Parks Community Centers to reach youth who lack direct access to, and are often underrepresented in, traditional environmental education and outdoor recreation programs. The Nature Discovery Program is activated in a number of ways including:

Nature Detectives Club: an after-school program for youth at Metro Nashville Community Centers. This program provides science-based teachings and empowers kids to explore nature. This program takes place at more than 20 Community Centers throughout Davidson County. 

P.E.N. Pals (People Exploring Nature) Summer Camp: brings youth from Metro Parks Community Centers to the Warner Parks for a full day of nature exploration and outdoor adventure! Youth follow their curiosity as they explore the meadow, pond, and garden ecosystems, hike through the forest, observe wildlife, kayak, learn outdoor skills, search for crawdads in the Little Harpeth River, and create lasting memories in nature. 

P.E.N. Pals (People Exploring Nature) Fall Campfire & Night Hikes: Community Center youth experience the Warner Parks during the fall season. Earlier sunsets and cooler temperatures mean it's time to roast hot dogs, make s'mores, and enjoy time around the bonfire. Youth take a crepuscular hike through the meadows and forests of the Warner Parks and view the night sky while learning about nocturnal creatures. 

*We are looking for college-aged volunteers to participate in any of these branches of the Nature Discovery program, as the youth often find it easier to connect with this age group. This opportunity is wonderful for those who are interested in education, biology, sustainability, or environmental studies.*

Please see below for approximate date ranges throughout the year: 
Nature Detectives: school-year. Typically on a weekday between 3:00pm-5:00pm
P.E.N. Pals Summer Camp: June and July
P.E.N. Pals Fall Campfire & Night Hikes: October

If you are interested in volunteering with any of these opportunities, please contact Arabella Pagan at apagan@warnerparks.org for next steps. A background check may be required.
