Volunteer: Project Homeless Connect 2026 Navigators

We're looking for volunteer navigators for this year's Project Homeless Connect on Friday, January 23, 2026!!

Navigators are advocates for homeless clients who participate in Project Homeless Connect. At Project Homeless Connect several hundred people who are identified as "homeless" will come to receive services such as legal assistance; employment resources; state identification cards; housing assistance; food stamp application; veteran resources; health assessments and education; mental health services; beauty and barber services; voter registration; distribution of hygiene items, clothing, coats, shoes, socks; and much more! Navigators act as "tour guides" and "advocates" through the many service areas.

This role is really important and can be very rewarding as you develop a partnership with your client. Navigators can make (or sadly, break) the event for an individual due to the treatment, care, and efficiency afforded by the relationship that is formed. It is important to treat all clients with dignity and respect.

To volunteer you must complete the following:

"RESPOND" to this need and review and sign the waiver and training packet that will be available electronically after you click the "RESPOND" button. As you read and/or sign each page of the waiver and training packet, be sure to click the blue "SUBMIT PAGE AND PROCEED" button in the bottom left corner to save your edits/progress and proceed to the subsequent page.

The Training Packet will give you an overview of the project and also help you understand things you might encounter during the event so that you'll feel more comfortable in your role. HIPAA training is required prior to the event due to the laws surrounding privacy and healthcare.

After you've electronically signed and submitted the waiver and training packet, click the blue "RESPOND" button for this need a second time to select the shift of your choice and to complete your registration. (NOTE: In Alabama, if you are under 18, a parent must sign the waiver and release forms.)

Bring your Student ID/Driver's License with you to the event, and wear a red shirt of your choice to be distinguished from other volunteers.

Please contact the USA Office of Community Engagement at communityengagement@southalabama.edu or 251-460-6116 if you have any questions or need assistance with the waiver and training packet.

Volunteer: Volunteer Online as an English Conversation Partner

Ready to change a life from the comfort of home? 


Join ENGin as a conversation partner! This is a flexible and unique opportunity to make a direct  impact on someone’s life while discovering a new culture and meeting a new friend.


We’ll pair you up with a learner in Ukraine for weekly one hour videochats at times that are convenient for you. During your conversations, you’ll practice English with your partner, learn about each other’s cultures, and offer an empathetic, authentic space for connection.


No prior tutoring experience or knowledge of Ukrainian language is needed to volunteer with ENGin. We offer ample training resources, session materials, and total flexibility to customize your sessions to fit your/your partner’s goals and preferences. Our friendly team is available to support you throughout your time with us. 


Our only requirements for volunteers are English fluency, a strong internet connection, and the ability to commit to one hour a week for a minimum of 10-12 weeks.


Since our launch in 2020, ENGin has matched over 26,000 volunteers with Ukrainians for authentic English-language connection across borders, and we continue to grow every day. 99% of our learners report feeling they were able to break the language barrier as a participant in our program, and 79% of our participants form lasting friendships. 

Here's what three ENGin volunteers say about their experience.

"I made a friend in Ukraine and we are teaching each other about our culture, our language, and our humor. We're even trading dad jokes! Both of us look forward to our chats and have a hard time wrapping it up."

“Fantastic organization doing great work. So happy to be a small part of it.  My partner and I have worked together for two years and have become good friends! Her English has become better, and I have become more knowledgeable about Ukraine!”

"This program has been, I think, life-changing for both of us. I really consider her more like my daughter right now. That's how close we have become!"

To learn more about ENGin and become a volunteer, please visit www.enginprogram.org/volunteer. 

If you’d like to learn more about ENGin before joining, please watch the recording of our volunteer info-session here.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our team at info@enginprogram.org.

What is better than getting out of jail free?  Getting out of jail with a GED!!!  Our tutoring program inside the Metro Jail is helping people go to work at good jobs when they get out, and keep from coming back. Your tutoring and admin skills can help WOMEN get into the program, study the right things, and pass the test!  We especially need a woman (or two!) who can help keep testing and paperwork up to date as well as teach reading and writing skills.

Volunteer: Virtual Visits with Seniors

Conversations to Remember is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to combating loneliness and isolation felt by senior citizens. Our virtual visit program matches 2-3 college students with residents of long-term care, assisted living, and memory care communities for virtual video visits. These residents have been suffering from isolation, and you could really brighten their days just by speaking with them. We provide training to the students in the program about the best ways to interact with the seniors, as well as additional support throughout their service. Since these visits are virtual, you can participate without any travel. This is both convenient, and allows more of your time to be spent volunteering, rather than commuting to your volunteering location. We provide this program free of charge to seniors across the country, and have students from around the country as well. We hope that you will volunteer to help our seniors.

Typically, students volunteer 1-2 hours per week. Each call lasts up to one hour, based on the senior's attention span and mood on each day. We expect students to volunteer for approximately 16 weeks, so that they can build a friendship with the senior. This does not need to coincide with the start of a semester, as we have new seniors starting all the time, and train new volunteers weekly. The students are matched based on the times that they're available, with a senior who is available at the same time, and they will have a regular, weekly appointment for their visit. Students wishing for more visits or other opportunities that allow them to volunteer more hours can be accommodated with different ways to volunteer, such as assisting us with our social media, call support, or outreach.
