Get Involved & Volunteer!

A great way to get to know your new community and the people who live there is to volunteer. With hundreds of nonprofits in the Middle Tennessee region, getting involved and lending a hand is easy to do. Sharing your skills and talents by volunteering at a school, local church, library, at a community festival, or with the city’s parks and recreation department not only helps others, but also allows you to support causes you care about.

Civic groups also offer volunteer opportunities such as a local Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, or Chamber of Commerce. For example, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs organizes volunteer events throughout the year that support their community with chapters in both Spring Hill (FB @GRWC Spring Station Woman’s Club) and Brentwood/ Franklin.

Anyone is welcome to participate.

Giving financially to an organization you care about is important as well. Nonprofits such as the United Way of Greater Nashville or The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee provide a giving platform that supports multiple organizations, or gifts can be directed to a specific nonprofit.

Listed below are organizations that maintain a database of immediate volunteer needs as well as lists of nonprofits throughout the region. By sharing even a small amount of time, you can make a big difference in your community and for those who live there.
