Volunteer Opportunities Available:

• Adopt a Meal. Volunteers are needed to adopt one night a month and bring dinner for 25 to 30 residents, or come when your schedule permits. We encourage volunteers to eat with our residents and become part of the transformational process in making wise choices about food. This is a wonderful opportunity for small groups, Sunday school classes, and families. 

• Workforce Development Job Coaches: Volunteers are needed to monitor the computer lab and assist residents in submitting job applications, help prepare resumes, and prepare for job interviews. Speakers are needed to speak during group time on a variety of topics related to employment.

• Supplies and Donations: We are always in need of copy paper, paper towels, toilet tissue, cleaning supplies, and WalMart gift cards. Contact each site above for their current list of needs.

• Hairdressers are needed to give our residents a much needed "emotional lift" in their appearance.

• Special Events: Help us tell The Next Door story at corporate and ministry fairs, organize a health fair for residents, or host a Saturday movie night.

• Professional photographers needed for a special Mother's Day Project.

• Exercise coaching.

Nashville volunteer orientation time and dates are 10 AM to noon at The Next Door on May 18, 2012, and September 22, 2012.
