Be a Holiday Hero



Holiday Heroes fill a child's wish list by shopping for and wrapping gifts for a child or by making a donation of $75 to the Youth Villages Holiday Heroes program. Wish lists will be provided. To become a Holiday Hero to our children in any of our service areas, please contact Patrick Hampton at (901) 251-4823 or at patrick.hampton@youthvillages.org.

Volunteer opportunities

The monthly Volunteer Venture is a great way to find out what volunteering with the children of Youth Villages is all about. This event also is perfect for those who are not able to volunteer on a regular basis but still enjoy spending time with our children. At the Venture, volunteers engage with our kids in fun group activities organized by our staff. Volunteer Ventures take place the first Saturday of every month, from 9:30 to 11:00, at our Bartlett Campus. Contact Aaron Keegan to attend our next Volunteer Venture: 901.251.4827.



Be a Birthday Hero

Birthday Heroes brighten children's lives by engaging regularly in fun activities with them and celebrating their special day with cake, soft drinks, gifts and games. Birthday Heroes are groups of two or more coworkers, friends, sorority sisters, fraternity brothers, youth or church group participants who commit to adopting a cottage on our Bartlett or Dogwood Village campuses or one of our group homes for monthly or semimonthly volunteer activities and celebrating children's birthdays.



Adopt a Cottage

Volunteers can Adopt-A-Cottage on one of our residential campuses or a group home for regular activities. This group project is perfect for two or more volunteers who like to visit our children weekly, twice a month or monthly.



Help out at a Special Event

Youth Villages holds three large Special Events each year: Soup Sunday in February, the Youth Villages 5k Run/Walk in April and our Family Fun Fest and Fishing Rodeo in June. There are also other events from time to time. The success of these fund-raising events depends greatly on the support from volunteers who help with setting up, supervising the children's areas, serving and warming food, selling tickets, cleaning up and more. It's a great way to get involved by yourself or with your family, a group of coworkers, church friends or others.
