The most memorable part of a guest’s experience is often the interactions they have along the way. Guest Ambassadors play an extremely important role in creating a warm, welcoming, and informative experience for every visitor.

Guest Ambassadors provide directions, answer general questions, and assist guests in navigating the Aquarium to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit. Volunteers in this role may also have the opportunity to occasionally serve as a mascot in one of our nine mascot costumes, bringing added fun and excitement to guest interactions.

More complex inquiries will be referred to the Visitor Services or Education Mentors teams.

The purpose of this role is to assist the Education Department engaging guests in the Aquarium to enhance their visit.

Education Volunteers are stationed throughout the galleries to interpret exhibits, animals, and plants by offering educational information to visitors through interpretation and storytelling.

Being an Education Volunteer is a combination of correct educational information, using appropriate guest interaction techniques, and good customer service. Please note that Education Volunteers do not work directly with animals.

What's often standing between people with cancer and life-saving treatment is a ride to get there. 

Volunteers with Road To Recovery use their personal vehicle to drive cancer patients with limited or no transportation to treatments.  

Rides are weekdays. We encourage drivers provide 2 rides per month. Choose the rides that work with your schedule. We think you'll find it a flexible and rewarding volunteer experience while helping your community.

Volunteer drivers are ages 18-84 and

Interested volunteers complete short online training and a background check. Volunteers review available rides via an online scheduling tool.

We would love your help! Connect here &/or check out cancer.org/drive for FAQs and to get started on training. We would love to connect to answer questions and get you started.

All donations can be brought to our main entrance at 727 E. 11th St.

At Ronald McDonald House, we aim to make families feel "at home" while their children are receiving care in the hospital by providing warm, home-cooked meals during their stay. If you'd like to provide some relief to families enduring a medical crisis, you can "Adopt-A-Meal"!

Here's how it works:

*Groups who are unable to provide their own ingredients may still be able to Adopt A Meal. Talk to Melissa about alternative options. You also have the option to order food from a store or restaurant, if you have the budget for that.

For more details or to schedule a date to participate in the volunteer activity, please contact Melissa Miburn at Melissa.Milburn@rmhchattanooga.com

More info from Melissa:

The group would start with the idea of which meal slot would work best for them ( breakfast, lunch, or dinner) and then we would look for open dates on our meal calendar.   Most of the groups keep the number of volunteers around 6-8 people due to the size of the kitchen space and to help keep the families from being overwhelmed when they come into the kitchen for the meal.  The actual meal prepared would need to be made on site in the Great Kitchen or purchased from either a grocery store or restaurant.   The Great Kitchen is stocked with an assortment of pots and pans, cooking utensils, serving utensils and plates/ utensils for the families to eat off.   The meal is prepared buffet style that the families can then help themselves to during the allotted meal time and then whatever food is left over, that is placed in our re-heatable containers that the families can reheat when they return from the hospital.

The Front Desk Support Volunteer will be responsible for providing
efficient and welcoming customer service to guests and visitors at the Ronald McDonald House.

The Family Room, located inside Erlanger's Children's Hospital, is a peaceful, home-like space where families of patients can enjoy a meal, take a shower, and wash their clothing. This space is provided by Ronald McDonald House, a nonprofit which strives to create a "home away from home" for families whose children are receiving care in a hospital.

The Volunteer's main responsibility is to maintain a friendly and home-like atmosphere in the Family Room. Specific duties include:

This role occurs in 3-hour shifts from Monday to Friday: 9am-12pm, 12pm-3pm, and 3pm-6pm.

Onboarding as a Family Room volunteer requires* the following:

*Erlanger covers all costs for this onboarding process.

We also ask that volunteers commit to an ongoing weekly shift. For example, "every Monday from 12pm to 3pm," or "every Thursday from 3pm to 6pm," etc.

If you are unable to commit to a weekly shift, but could do a biweekly shift or some other regular routine, we may be able to accommodate you. Give us a call and we'll talk about it!

Every child that comes through our doors has the opportunity to visit Brock’s Wall. Brock’s Wall, named in memory of Brock Lord, is a cubby wall that holds donated items that a child can choose from to take home. Choosing an item off of Brock’s Wall, whether that be a teddy bear or snack, provides comfort to a child who just shared their experience. These donations are the difference between a child leaving discouraged to a child feeling hopeful for the future. These donations have a meaning far deeper than we understand. The Support Squad schedule is as follows:

July 1 – September 30: NEW Stuffed animals

October 1 – December 31: Individually wrapped snacks

January 1 – March 31: Take-Aways (Funko Pops, Rubix Cubes, Chapter Books, etc.)

April 1 – June 30: Play-Doh & art supplies

We accept donations Monday – Friday between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. If you need to make special arrangements to drop off a donation, please get in touch with Hannah Gunter.  You may also consider making an online donation through our Amazon Wishlist.

McKamey Animal Center is seeking volunteers who are passionate about inspiring others to create a better world for the animals who need us the most. 2025 will be a challenging year for shelters nationwide, and MAC is no different. We need all the help we can get to ensure the best quality of life for the animals we serve. That all starts with making sure our volunteers are trained properly.

Volunteer Coaches will be the first set of friendly, helpful faces that new volunteers encounter when they come into the shelter for the first few shifts. These coaches will be responsible for ensuring all Volunteers are trained effectively and are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to make an impact on the lives of the animals we serve. Coaches will be asked to work with new volunteers in specific roles within the program. Coaches are asked to work with at least two volunteers per month, and may accept as many as they are comfortable with. Coaches will be provided training on the role (Canine Companions, Feline Friends, etc...) from a current coach, and will be provided a checklist to ensure they cover all of the most important information. 

Coaching areas:

- Shelter Stewards: All of the basic functions that help us operate efficiently day-to-day. These tasks include, but are not limited to, laundry, dishes, sweeping/mopping, cleaning windows, changing trash bins, etc...

- Feline Friends: As the name suggests, these volunteers are all about the kitties! Coaches will teach new volunteers how to create and distribute cat enrichment, how to safely socialize, and how to clean/spot clean cat condos.

- Canine Companions: These Volunteers get the opportunity to love on thousands of dogs each year. Coaches will teach volunteers how to create/distribute enrichment, take the pups on walks and to our play yards, how to clean/spot clean kennels, and so much more. 

Do any of these areas jump out to you? If you have questions about this position, please contact Austin Stiker, Volunteer Manager, at volunteermanager@mckameyanimalcenter.org

Background/About Program:

To address hunger in our communities, the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga is partnering with the USDA's Food Service Program to help provides free meals to children aged up to 18 during the summer and after school hours.

What do we need:

The YMCA is looking for Volunteers and Teams to prepare meals daily. 
Join us at the Y with our Food & Fun Program.

We have openings Monday-Friday anytime between 8am-2pm.The shifts are flexible but we ask that you be available to volunteer for at least 2 hours. Saturday mornings are available by appointment only, for a minimum of ten volunteers. 

We need volunteers to help us prepare these healthy meals to send out to the kids of the Chattanooga area! 

We prepare and make all of the meals ourselves at our Food & Fun Kitchen. It is very easy and fun! Examples of task are making sandwiches, bagging up veggies, bagging up meal items, etc. Without helping hands like yours these meals would not get prepared and sent out to kids in need of a healthy meal. Please consider volunteering with the YMCA’s Food & Fun Program. Any one is welcome to volunteer!
