NASHVILLE VOLUNTEERS

Before submitting an application, please review the Nashville Volunteer Opportunities Directory below and the Frequently Asked Questions page to make sure our program is right for you. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee your acceptance into the volunteer program.

Volunteers will be selected based on availability, level of commitment, and the needs of The Next Door. All volunteers must successfully complete the volunteer training, acknowledge all applicable policies and pass a background check before they can start volunteering. Upon completion of your application you will be invited to attend the next Volunteer Orientation and be scheduled to have an interview with the Volunteer Coordinator to determine how we can best place you into a meaningful service role.
