A CASA volunteer is appointed by a Chatham County Juvenile Court Judge to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home. They stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence.

Because children are often unable to provide a voice for themselves during this critical and difficult time of their life, a CASA volunteer makes it possible to be their voice by advocating on their behalf.

Savannah CASA is always recruiting volunteers to serve as CASAs

If you are interested in advocating for Mental Health within your community, then hosting a clothing drive is a great way to give back (without having to jump through all those paperwork hoops!).

GRHS has a population of 85% male and 15% female patient population, and we are consistently in need of adult clothing. The hospital provides basic items, but our patients feel more comfortable in jeans, sneakers, jackets, etc of their own. These items can be brand new or gently used. We are usually in need of male clothing the most, as well as shoes or jackets. As the seasons change so does the need. For example: October we need coats, April we need shorts.

Please contact me via email if you are interested in hosting a clothing drive to gather items to meet the needs within your community. Any items we cannot, or are considered contraband for our patients, are donated to other local organizations (so no donation is wasted or thrown away!).

We do NOT accept - baby/children's clothing, underwear, socks, ties, belts, watches, miniskirts, bathing suits, flip flops.

The Humane Society for Greater Savannah needs dog walkers! Exercised pups are happier, healthier, and more adoptable. We're looking for people that can dedicate at least 10 hours per month for 6 months. First-time volunteers will attend an orientation and complete a dog walk training. Sign up at https://www.humanesocietysav.org/volunteer-application. 

Responsible for welcoming and orienting new patients and their loved ones to Hospice Savannah's inpatient facility. Provides companionship and support  to them and may also assist staff with tasks. Full training (after orientation) will be provided.

Volunteers sign up for one (or more) two-hour shift each week. Volunteers are mostly at Hospice House between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., seven days a week.

If you're interested in advocating for mental health within your community but don't have time to spend hours on site, hosting a fundraiser for our Patients is a great cause! The Patient Benefit Fund is a general account that all donations to GRHS go into that pays for things like social outings, visiting restaurants, birthday and holiday gifts, new gaming and recreation equipment, art supplies, new movies, etc.

Contact me via email if you are interested in assisting raising money for this cause. Individually, as a group, as a business, or organization ---  Any giving counts! We accept donations of $10+!

Public Outreach (and Emergency Operations Support) Team

Individuals on this team will have the opportunity to attend community presentations and outreach events, including the annual Chatham County Hurricane Conference. In addition, we are also starting two new initiatives: "You Are the Help Until Help Arrives" and the American Red Cross Pillowcase Project. Both initiatives involve direct outreach to Chatham County residents. Volunteers on this team will also have the chance to participate in the Emergency Operations Center during a phone operations activation. With the amount of natural disasters impacting our area lately, this is a very active group that will surely allow you to make a direct impact on the residents of Chatham County.

Each weekday morning Emmaus House serves a hot hearty meal to the unsheltered and otherwise hungry residents of Savannah. We are blessed to have volunteers who come and serve each meal each day. Unfortunately, after the breakfast meal is served and volunteers go home, we are left in need of help to clean.

We need 2nd shift volunteers to help clear tables, wipe them down, sweep the floor and mop. This is a need that we have Monday - Thursday 50 weeks out of the year.

Please consider coming to lend us a hand. The more hands we have, the more effective we are in procuring donations and prepping meals for the next day. THANK YOU!

CCCS wants you to help us connect community members to our services. If you're a teachable, detail-orientated person, we would love to see you as a front desk receptionist in our Savannah office. CCCS will train volunteers and introduce them to the world of financial empowerment.  Apply today!

Are you a dolphin lover? Could you watch dolphins all day long? Then there is a volunteer opportunity for you!

The Dolphin Project, Inc. is where scientists and volunteers came together to count the dolphins and photograph their dorsal fins (comparable to a human fingerprint for identification). These actions help monitor the health of the dolphins which are the sentinel species of their estuarine environment. Since we share this environment, the well-being of these dolphins impacts our well-being too.
