Welcome to Volunteer
Mid-South
Mission
Volunteer Mid-South develops,
promotes, and supports volunteerism.
History
Originally known as The
Volunteer Center of Memphis, the organization was
established in 1975 by the Junior League of Memphis & the
National Council of Jewish Women. In 2000, we changed
our name to Volunteer Memphis. In 2006, in an effort
to establish ourselves as a comprehensive "all things
volunteer" organization and to better serve local
volunteers, we merged with Hands On Memphis.
Volunteer Memphis and Hands On Memphis evolved into Volunteer Mid-South in 2009.
What We Do
-
Mobilize volunteers to make a difference in their
communities
-
