What You’ll Do:

Wash and dry animal bedding, fold and organizing towels, and blankets

Wash and sanitize food/water bowls and toys

Sweep, mop, and tidy common areas as needed

Restock supplies and keep workspaces organized

Pitch in wherever a helping hand is needed

Willing to get a little messy (laundry and dishes can be a splash zone!)

Able to lift light to moderate loads of laundry and supplies

Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work independently or with a team

Flexible with tasks — needs can change daily

Why It Matters:
Clean bedding, fresh bowls, and tidy spaces help our animals stay healthy, happy, and ready to meet their forever families. Every load of laundry or washed dish is a step toward adoption day!

Help us accept, organize, price, and sell items in our thrift store! Donations to the thrift store are dropped off consistently to be organized and set out. All proceeds of Dwell Goods go to Dwell Mobile.

United Way of Southwest Alabama's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is growing, and we need volunteers! We're looking for people who want to learn to prepare free tax returns and to serve in our various tax centers throughout the Mobile area. This is important work, and it only happens with the dedication of our volunteer team.

You don't have to have tax preparation experience. It helps of course, but we offer training supported by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Please note: This is not training to start your own tax preparation business for pay. Volunteers are not allowed to accept payment for the tax returns they prepare for our taxpayers.

Although people think you have to be a math wiz to do taxes, the fact is the computer does most of the math. The most important skills have to do with working with other people as a team, listening to your clients, and applying the tax rules fairly, accurately, and consistently. And every return you prepare gets reviewed by a second volunteer, so there's always someone to double-check your work for you; you're never alone.

We'll hold orientation (come and learn more) sessions before training. Classes begin in November and are typically offered on weekdays and Saturdays. Sign up now and we'll notify you once the dates are set for training.

If you're looking to give back to your community in a way that challenges your mind and gives you the chance to see your real-world impact on the people we serve together, this could be for you. Join us to learn more!

Hospice volunteers are the most special in the world! They always have the biggest hearts!     

Regular visits from Hospice Companions can minimize patient loneliness and isolation through fellowship.  These volunteers provide companionship to the patients and relief to their caregivers by offering a supportive presence, a listening ear and a helping hand. These type of volunteer may provide companionship, care-relief, pet therapy, life review, reading to the patient, playing games, writing letters on behalf of patient and many more tasks.  These volunteers are needed in Mobile County.  

If you have ever had a family member on Hospice, you have hopefully seen the impact that wonderful visitors can make on an entire family. 

This volunteer opportunity is great for students looking to build their resumes and get patient experience. Volunteering with patients 1:1  can sometimes be a little daunting, but we work hard to make things really comfortable for everyone! Schedules for volunteering with patients can also be super FLEXIBLE! Great for students. 

At the end of life, comfort is one of Hospice's main goals. If you are great at crafts, sewing, knitting, or crocheting, you can help provide comfort to patients and families who need it greatly!   

Items like lap blankets, fidget blankets, cards, room decorations, scrap booking, and more are needed. Your imagination can run wild because these items can go straight to patients and families to let them know someone cares.   

At the end of life, comfort  is one of our top goals in our Hospice organization. If you enjoy creating art work, painting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, etc. you can help provide comfort to our patients and families! Any items like blankets (or fidget blankets), paintings, any art work or arts & crafts, cards, home/room decor, etc. are needed! Let your unique skills and imagination run wild as your work becomes comfort to our patients and families when they need it most.        

Hospice volunteers are some of the most special people in the world! They always have the biggest hearts!    

Administrative volunteers are great to be able to help the office staff with clerical tasks such as answering phones, mailings, helping to make marketing goodies, filing and organizing in the office, writing cards and letters to our patients and bereaved families.  We are looking for volunteers in the area for Mobile County. Administrative volunteers can make their own schedule and volunteer as often or as little as possible. This is an ongoing volunteer position, and we can use folks all year helping with tasks.

We have a waiting list of people that need a guardian. Now is the time to sign up to volunteer if you have been waiting.

A Guardianship is a legal relationship in which a Guardian is appointed by Mobile County Probate Court to make decisions for those incapacitated or unable to communicate decisions concerning their health or safety. The guardian does not handle any financial responsibilities. A Conservator is appointed by the court to handle these matters.

The Volunteer Guardian Program (VGP) is the last line of defense for vulnerable citizens - with no appropriate family or friends - against homelessness and worsening quality of life.  The VGP is administered by the Via Health, Fitness and Enrichment Center, and partners with the Mobile County Probate Court, the Mobile County Commission, the City of Mobile and community referral agencies.  Mobile County’s VGP was introduced by Probate Court Judge Don Davis in 2010, and the program remains the first and only of its kind in our state. 

The life-changing decisions Volunteer Guardians make for their wards impact basic needs (food and housing), medical treatments or care and end-of-life care.  Guardians attend court hearings, file paperwork, coordinate with other agencies to obtain needed services, shop or take  their ward shopping,  attend doctors’ appointments if needed and stay connected to ensure wards’ health and safety.

Since 2010, VGP has recruited, trained and matched hundreds of community volunteers to serve as Guardians for these special people. Currently, there are more than 65 amazing Volunteer Guardians active in the program.  They range in age from 21 to 65, and include college students, homemakers, nurses, pastors and preachers, Certified Nursing Assistants, social workers and even a retired FBI official. 

The Via Center is seeking caring and committed volunteers to become a part of the program.

What does it take to be a Volunteer Guardian?
