Volunteers at Dream Court Adaptive Tennis Clinic are paired one-on-one with athletes who have intellectual or physical disabilities, providing individualized support and encouragement throughout each session. Volunteers help guide participants through basic tennis drills, assist with skill development, and adapt activities to meet each athlete’s unique needs. The goal is to create a positive, inclusive environment where participants can learn the fundamentals of tennis, build confidence, and enjoy the game at their own pace. Volunteers also play an important role in fostering social connection, promoting independence, and ensuring each athlete feels supported and empowered on the court.

Please let us know when you plan to volunteer by signing up on our volunteer software. Here is the link: https://volunteer.bloomerang.co/JE/6h3aeip8l7hdm0

Our veteran patients that are currently on Hospice enjoy the camaraderie and the bond that only those with military histories share and pay tribute to others who have served our county.  These volunteers may provide social visits, take part in special pinning ceremonies, or interview and document veterans military stories through the veterans history project.  These visits would be made in the patients homes in Mobile County.        

Hospice volunteers are the most special in the world! They always have the biggest hearts!       

Regular visits from Hospice Companions can minimize patient loneliness and isolation through fellowship.  These volunteers provide companionship to the patients and relief to their caregivers by offering a supportive presence, a listening ear and a helping hand. These type of volunteer may provide companionship, care-relief, pet therapy, life review, reading to the patient, playing games, writing letters on behalf of patient and many more tasks.  These volunteers are needed in Mobile County.  

If you have ever had a family member on Hospice, you have hopefully seen the impact that wonderful visitors can make on an entire family. 

This volunteer opportunity is great for students looking to build their resumes and get patient experience. Volunteering with patients 1:1  can sometimes be a little daunting, but we work hard to make things really comfortable for everyone! Schedules for volunteering with patients can also be super FLEXIBLE! Great for students. 

Hospice volunteers are some of the most special people in the world! They always have the biggest hearts!     

Administrative volunteers are great to be able to help the office staff with clerical tasks such as answering phones, mailings, helping to make marketing goodies, filing and organizing in the office, writing cards and letters to our patients and bereaved families.  We are looking for volunteers in the area for Mobile County. Administrative volunteers can make their own schedule and volunteer as often or as little as possible. This is an ongoing volunteer position, and we can use folks all year helping with tasks.

About Our Camps:​ ​

Our Summer Bible Camps are six weeks of Bible study, games, music, sports, skits, crafts, water, and especially, FUN. Each summer, we have the opportunity to share Christ with over 150 children from high-crime, low-income communities while providing them with a safe, positive environment in which to spend their time away from school, all at no cost to the individual.   ​

We are currently operating camps in 2 locations: Alabama Village (Camp LOV) and Toulminville (Camp Peace). We also have the opportunity to share the Gospel with more than 250 additional children at multiple City of Mobile Parks and Rec and Boys and Girls Club summer camp sites

Summer Employment:

• Camp is 10am-4pm Tuesdays-Fridays, June 9-July 17, 2026.

Most people think of tax season as something that ends on April 15, and for some of our volunteers it does. But some volunteers continue to help people with late filings, back taxes, etc. right on through the summer and fall. 

We are seeking volunteers who are interested in learning to prepare taxes for us after tax season. If there is interest, we are considering holding certification classes in May so that new volunteers can start helping in June. This does two things: It gives you a chance to work in a less hectic environment after the rush of tax season has ended. It also gives some of our tax season volunteers a well-deserved break if they want one.

If you're interested in learning more, please register here, and we'll reach out after April 15 to let you know if there's been interest in holding classes.

We see this as a way to grow the program and to help people who are in greatest need. Join us and make a difference.

What is the name of the brown dog (far right) on the “No Photo Zone” slides?

Once I receive your answers, I’ll send you the link to view and then you can sign up for available volunteer shifts that interact directly with animals.

For your first day at the shelter, bring a valid photo ID. You’ll receive your Volunteer Handbook, sign a waiver, and complete a quick 40-minute training at the start of your shift.

Thanks so much for supporting the animals—we’re excited to have you on board!
