What’s a Shelter Helper?
Stop by anytime you have 2 hours to spare, just say you're here to be a shelter helper! Shelter Helpers are the backbone of our daily operations. By tackling tasks like laundry, dishes, and general tidying, you free up staff to focus on animal care — and you make the shelter a cleaner, more comfortable place for our furry friends.

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

Qualifications:

Comfortable working around dogs and cats but not necessarily with them (if you don't want to)

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!

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.

Click Here for Program Brochure

Click Here for Via Center Webpage

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?

We know that natural disasters happen, and it's not a matter of if they'll happen, but when they'll happen. And when they do happen, volunteers are needed in a hurry.

Sign up here to volunteer, not for a specific disaster, but to be the first to know when your assistance is needed following a disaster. You may also be notified from time to time of trainings that are available for disaster volunteers. Think of this as your opportunity to say that you're ready to help should action be necessary.

Join us for a vibrant and engaging program designed for adults with disabilities, where creativity, connection, and community come together! Each session offers a variety of fun and meaningful activities, including arts and crafts, music and dance, light exercise, educational opportunities, and social participation. We'll also explore the local community together through inclusive outings and shared experiences. This is a welcoming space where everyone is encouraged to express themselves, make new friends, and grow in confidence while having a great time!

* Important Note: please contact Director prior to arrival in case the program is traveling within the community that day.*

Help a special needs child or adult through a 45-minute theater class on Thursdays at Dance Without Limits!  No dance experience necessary, just a kind heart making sure our students smile as much as they can!  We'd like you to stay consistent so this is not a one-time opportunity. Please try to make as many classes as you can Sept. - May, but we understand things happen.  

Help administer student surveys at middle schools in the Mobile County Public School System. We need help processing students as they access computer surveys, monitoring/proctoring the room while students take surveys, helping students as they line up to sign out and receive incentives, distribute/pack up materials. 

These surveys are part of a multi-year research project on how to reduce youth violence and suicidality. Surveys take place over a two week period, and there are three two-week periods per school year. Most volunteer opportunities will be in September, December, and March/April.

All volunteers must complete an online training (CITI Program on research ethics) which takes between 3-4 hours (but does not have to be completed all at once). Volunteers must also provide information to the University of South Alabama Human Resources office in order to pass a background check. More information on both of these will be provided to you when you contact the SOAR program to get involved.

We are in need of a volunteer to help organize a shed with paper products. The person would be throwing away anything damaged and organizing the rest.

Volunteers will need to complete a 30 min orientation with the Volunteer Coordinator.

Are you a future teacher, college student or high school student who has a love for History, Astronomy, Zoology, Foreign Languages, Art, Drama, etc.? Do you love to share your knowledge or interests with others perhaps in a small classroom type setting? We have several residents at Mulherin Home who LOVE to learn! We are looking for volunteers to teach classes on various subjects. These are adults with special needs so there is no grading, just learning! Get volunteer hours while talking about your favorite subjects! Classes can be anywhere from 30 mins to over an hour, and can repeat or be a one time "workshop." 

You do not have to be a student to volunteer, and you do not have to be a professional in whatever subject you want to teach. You will have access to a large screen TV if you need to cast photos or videos. Most of them can not read, but they remember and love showing off what they have learned!

We accept volunteers seven days a week 9am to 5:30pm.

We have approximately 10-15 residents who are ready for classes to start!

This is an excellent way to earn a letter of recommendation for college admission or for a job!
