Memphis Teen Volunteers (MTV) is designed to make teen
volunteerism easy, accessible and fun! It is a great way
for teens, ages 13-17, to find ongoing volunteer
opportunities both during the school year and the summer
months.
MTV gives teens the opportunity to increases their
understanding of community needs, build leadership
skills, learn respect, and enhance social awareness all
while serving their community.
MTV also provides teens with
tips and resources
on what makes a good volunteer and how teens can
create their own service project so that they can make
an impact in their own community.
For ongoing teen volunteer opportunities our
MTV Flex Projects
provide the perfect way for busy teens to volunteer
in a fun, meaningful, hands on setting. Whether teens
want to help clean up a disheveled neighborhood, serve
meals to the homeless or have a play date with some cool
cats and some dandy dogs, there’s bound to be a MTV Flex
Project that is right for you.
MTV Flex Projects
require no ongoing commitment, address a variety of
community issues, often take place outside traditional
work and school hours as well as on the weekends, and
have project coordinators who greet and orient
volunteers at each project.
For the summer months we offer
MTV Summer! This
gives teens the perfect opportunity to spend their
summer making an impact by volunteering at a local
non-profit. As a MTV Summer! Volunteer, teens would have
the opportunity to work in a hospital, feed the animals
at the zoo, read to children, save the planet, or even
be an event planner. There are numerous opportunities
for teens to choose.
All of the MTV Summer! positions have been filled for
2009; however, if you wish to volunteer next summer
please plan to attend our MTV Summer! Volunteer
Recruitment Fair in May 2010. At the MTV Summer!
Volunteer Recruitment Fair, teens will have the
opportunity to meet with local non-profits to find their
perfect summer volunteer position!
