Volunteer

We all want to make a difference in the world. It’s part of how we are designed. At World Relief, we believe making a difference is a two-way street. Over the past 40+ years, we’ve been guiding people like you to volunteering in ways that make a lasting impact. You can bring your gifts, abilities and interests, and World Relief will help you connect and walk alongside families and individuals as they rebuild their lives in Memphis.

We are so excited to partner with you as you grow, learn, and make a difference through volunteering.

Note: Due to precautions around COVID-19, many of our volunteer opportunities are currently at different capacities. While volunteering may look different, your involvement is needed now more than ever!
