United Way of the Coastal Empire is seeking caring, reliable volunteers to serve as Read United Buddies, one-on-one reading tutors who help second-grade students strengthen foundational literacy skills and build confidence as readers. Just 30 minutes, twice a week, can make a lasting difference in a child's future.

Why Volunteers Are Needed

Too many children in our community are not reading at grade level by the end of third grade, placing them at greater risk for future academic challenges. Read United Buddies addresses this need by providing students with individualized reading support during the school day using evidence-based instructional practices aligned with the Science of Reading. Volunteers expand the capacity of our local schools by giving students additional time, encouragement, and practice beyond classroom instruction. Working alongside teachers and school staff, volunteers help students develop phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and, most importantly, confidence.

What Volunteers Do

No teaching experience is required. United Way partners with the school district and GSU to provide training, curriculum, materials, and ongoing support. Sites include Otis Brock Elementary School, Butler Elementary School, and Windsor Forest Elementary School.

Time Commitment

Volunteers commit to meeting with one assigned student for two 30-minute sessions each week during the school day on Mondays & Wednesdays or Tuesdays & Thursdays. The commitment is for the entire school year .

Unable to commit to a full schedule? Become a Backup Buddy! Backup Buddies provide substitute support when a regular volunteer is unavailable, ensuring students continue receiving consistent reading support throughout the school year.

The Impact

Read United Buddies volunteers don't just help children become better readers, they become trusted mentors who inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Together, volunteers, schools, Georgia Southern University, and United Way of the Coastal Empire are helping ensure every child has the opportunity to read proficiently by third grade.

Make a meaningful difference on your own schedule by driving cancer patients who lack reliable transportation.

As a Road To Recovery volunteer driver, you'll provide safe transportation so patients can keep their treatment schedules and focus on healing. Rides are typically Monday–Friday during the day.

Volunteers are encouraged to drive the patient to and from the appointment, but rides are listed as one-way segments. When you drive both legs, the time during the appointment is yours (run errands, grab coffee, read, or wait in a main lobby).

Volunteer drivers must:

We urgently need more drivers and would love your help!

Volunteer will arrive to  SFTR to pick up items and deliver them to the Diaper Bank Stations in our community. Diaper Bank Stations are: West Broad YMCA, Kim's Cafe, St. Joseph's Candler, and East Savannah United. 

All locations are relatively close to each other. This volunteer opportunity is conducted on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. 

Dear Community Members,

At SunCare Hospice Care Center, our mission has always been to provide peace, dignity, and comfort to patients and their families during life’s most delicate moments. As we prepare to fully open our doors right here in Springfield, we are incredibly close to making this sanctuary a reality—but we need our community’s help to cross the finish line.

To provide the seamless, high-quality care our families deserve, we need to complete a few vital final projects. We are reaching out to our amazing community to help us fund or your business donates labor and resources for:

A Safe & Welcoming Arrival: Completing our parking lot and parking spaces so grieving families and visiting loved ones always have a accessible, stress-free place to park.

Privacy & Serenity: Installing a new boundary fence to ensure our patients and families have the quiet, uninterrupted privacy they need. 

A Warm, Healing Environment: Final interior and exterior painting to transform the center into a bright, soothing, and comforting home away from home.

Connection & Comfort: Purchasing 7 patient rooms LG 43" Smart TVs, allowing our patients to watch their favorite familiar shows, connect with digital memories, and find a sense of normalcy and distraction during their stay.

Welch Allyn 300 Series Vital Sign Monitor to provide the right comfort care to each patient, knowing what thier vitals are and meeting them where they are at. 

Accucold Blanket Warmer with Stainless Steel Exterior which provides warmth and comfort to our patients after dressing or showering. 

Every dollar raised stays directly here in Springfield to complete these final touches. Whether you can sponsor a Smart TV, contribute to the paving fund, build a privacy fence, paint the exterior, or simply share this plea with your friends and neighbors, your generosity directly impacts the comfort of a patient in need.

The Front Porch receives funding through two major sources and one of those sources has been impacted by the most recent "Big Beautiful Bill" that was passed earlier this year. We are looking for a volunteer who could help us in finding potential grants and writing proposals for additional funding to support our free services to families throughout Chatham County. 

The Front Porch regularly conducts youth assessments with families from Chatham County. Occasionally, we will have a Spanish-speaking family who needs an interpreter for their assessment. These assessments are typically 1 hour long and are scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. An interpreter would be notified ASAP, if their services were needed, and the assessment would take place at The Front Porch.  When necessary, interpretation could be done virtually.

- The Positive Peer Influencer Program is an innovative program made possible through a collaboration between The Mediation Center of the Coastal Empire, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team. The program is designed to help local teens make healthy choices and to educate them to the dangers of fentanyl. Positive Peer Influencers (PPIs) are trained high school students who act as positive influences on local middle school students by modeling good decision-making, speaking about how to navigate peer pressure, discussing the potential consequences of bad decisions and offering advice about how to make healthy life choices. The Positive Peer Influencer program is designed to encourage students to have courageous conversations and to create conditions that allow students to be influenced in constructive ways. PPIs are trained to speak to other students about positive decision making, strategies to respond to peer pressure and the dangers of fentanyl. The goal is to equip young people with the tools they need to make positive decisions that set them up for a bright, healthy future.

Key Responsibilities:
- Support Peer Mediators: Assist trained student mediators in facilitating peer mediation sessions, helping fellow students develop solutions to conflicts and create a more peaceful school environment.

A Court Appointed Special Adocate (CASA) volunteer advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children. Bringing urgency to a child’s needs, both in and out of the courtroom, CASA volunteers promote safety, permanency and well-being through independent recommendations. As community partners in the child welfare system, CASA volunteers increase abused and neglected children’s access to services (including educational and health needs), promote safety, and advocate for timeliness and permanency for children involved in juvenile court proceedings. CASA volunteers are independent advocates and provide individualized attention for children in a massive state system.

CASA Ogeechee is always recruiting volunteers to serve as CASAs in Bulloch, Screven, Jenkins and Effingham.
