Support in sharing the work of Characters of Character to various platforms to bring awareness to the organization.

Characters of Character is shared nation wide. Our focus is in Tennessee, Illinois and Texas where we donate Superhero activity boxes to Children's Hospitals. These activity boxes include an activity book, water color paints and brush, an easel, a canvas that says I AM SUPER, crayons, a character lanyard, superhero mask and stickers, and an autographed greeting card to the child patient.

You may have family or friends in these states who you can share our project with? Word of mouth is powerful and we work tirelessly raising funds to be able to donate these. Looking for donations and sponsors to support these boxes. Would you like to make phone calls to ask for such? Are you an advocate to make a difference in the life of a child?

We'll provide you a script for the phone calls and information as needed.

Volunteering with us will help fulfill your service hours and do your heart good if you believe in our mission of providing a firm foundation for children to establish strong civic values. This looks different today because we are working with Children's Hospitals.

You can also share us with elementary staff to let them know about our organization. Our newsletters offer FREE content to use in a classroom, too.

Sound good, let's talk!

A time commitment would be 1-5 hours a week based on your capacity
to be involved. YOUR voice matters and you'll be building a platform for our children, our future leaders of tomorrow.

Do you have a heart for our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness? Join Nashville’s robust network of community leaders who are working together to ensure everyone receives the care and respect they deserve. By joining Colby’s Army as an Outreach Partner, you’ll be meeting with us on Tuesday mornings to combine forces before going out into the community to provide services to individuals experiencing homelessness and resource scarcity. Ideally, you'd be able to provide a vehicle and we’ll give you a list of locations to check up on our friends - with whom you can take requests and discuss current needs, and we’ll work together to find solutions! If you're unable to drive your own car but still want to get involved, please let us know and we'll make it work.

These volunteers work directly with our lesson participants in mounted and unmounted activities. Some lessons are in our garden or other areas of our farm, and some involve horses. Working with our participants can be the most rewarding thing you will do here at our learning center! Lesson Assistants will be working alongside the PATH-certified instructor to take care of random needs like moving a cone out of the way, or running to the barn to grab fly spray. As Participant Support you’d be walking alongside our horse and rider to sure they’re staying balanced or providing support during unmounted activities.

Volunteers will need to complete horse handling training, leader and sidewalker training, or our non-equine general lesson assistant training. Our 50-minute lesson times are set according to the participants’ schedules and may be adjusted if needed due to weather.

To schedule time for training, please reach out with your availability and we’ll make it happen!

Volunteer will be partnered with a student to work on literacy each week or will assist in the homework rotation after school. 

Do you enjoy administrative work and would be available approximately 2-3 hours per month to provide support in person?

GNRC's Quality Assurance Program mails out surveys to clients who have received home-delivered meals to make sure they have received excellent service and have the opportunity to provide feedback. The surveys are a great tool to make any necessary program improvements.

You would be preparing the surveys for mailing. This involves folding pages and stuffing them, along with a return envelope, into an envelope to be mailed, and then placing address labels on the outer envelope and labels/stamps on the return envelopes. We aim to have these surveys mailed out by the end of each month. 

No prior experience is needed. All training and materials will be provided, and staff will be available to answer questions as needed. 

We aim to have these surveys mailed out by the end of each month and can accommodate a flexible schedule during business hours Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 4:30pm. Please add in the notes your availability to work on this project.

You are welcome to work together with a friend.

We'd appreciate someone who can do this several months in a row but can also accommodate one-time volunteers. This is an ongoing need and volunteers can support this opportunity on a regular basis each month. Just let us know what you are able to do, and we will confirm specific details and a schedule when we have confirmed you for this role.

We receive weekly bulk donations from incredible partners such as Costco and Bells Bend Farms. Our “Best Use” prep sessions focus on turning those bulk donations into prepared, usable ingredients to be incorporated into our meals! Over 40% of food in the U.S. goes to waste and our food recovery efforts are a form of resistance to the myth that hunger is a scarcity issue! “Best Use” group prep sessions are a wonderful way to build team comradery, perfect your dicing skills, and support the work of community food security simultaneously!   

"Best Use" Prep sessions take place in our commercial kitchen setting, supported by our Meals team. Sample tasks may include: chopping and assembling veggie and fruit salads from donated produce, washing, coring, and dicing fresh harvests of tomatoes to be incorporated into sauces for the week’s coming meals, sorting recovered hauls to identify usable ingredients and separating compostable items to be broken down in our compost systems to act as inputs for our garden spaces, scrubbing, peeling and chopping farm-fresh potatoes to serve as a roasted root vegetable side for the week’s mobile meals and many other similar roles!

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.

Volunteer nurses work with staff nurses and providers to deliver comprehensive patient care at Siloam’s Primary Care Clinic. Volunteer nurses are responsible for welcoming patients to the clinic and performing all intake procedures, and they also provide assistance during appointments in order to provide excellent and compassionate care. Volunteer nurses are trained and supported by staff nurses.

Transportation is a huge need for our community of Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Many of our residents rely on public transport which can be very overwhelming or unsafe for them when traveling alone or at night, and utilizing a ride sharing service can get very expensive. Our Place Nashville is in search of volunteers who are willing to be available to assist with short rides for our friends. This could include a ride to one of our community events, to work, or just to the store. 

When you sign up and are approved as a transportation assistant, you will be notified when a particular resident has a particular transportation need. If you are able to help with that need, you can let us know and we will communicate with you and the resident to confirm the scheduling. During this ride, you may get to know one of our residents and provide encouragement and support for them during their day. 

Volunteers must have valid drivers license and a clean driving history, as well as access to a vehicle.
