Medicaid Expansion and Defense Advocacy Volunteer

Casework Client Survey Volunteer
The TJC casework team is seeking volunteers to work alongside our casework team helping former clients. You would reach out to past clients to check in and see how they are doing after working with TJC. Depending on the client’s situation you could coordinate with TJC advocates and attorneys to figure out the best way to help them. This is an exciting way to see the kind of work we do!
Hours per week: Flexible

Are you fluent in Spanish and English? Help us better serve the Spanish-speaking population in Tennessee. Tasks may include translation of documents and materials, intake interviews with potential clients, and outreach.

Development Committee Member
We are looking for passionate and capable volunteers to join our Development Committee. Meeting 6 times through the course of the year, the Committee helps engage our board and the community around fundraising tasks and events such as our Mother's Day campaign, Raising the Bar firm pledge program, annual event, and year-end giving campaigns.
This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute your ideas to TJC, and meet our board members. Many previous Development Committee board members have moved onto our Board of Directors as well. If you have experience in Fundraising, Marketing, Event Planning, Corporate Giving, Graphic Design, or related areas it is a plus.
Hours per week: Flexible, meet 6 times throughout the year
Fundraising Campaign Volunteers
We host several exciting fundraising campaigns during the year. During fundraising campaigns, we often need help with short-term tasks such as helping address envelopes, sorting data, and calling donors.
If you are interested in helping on a short-term project, please let us know your availability and any tasks that might interest you. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to help, but can only commit a few days out of the year.
Hours per week: Flexible
State County Fact Sheet Updates
Part of TJC's work is speaking to legislators about the importance of healthcare and nutrition programs, and the prevalence of food insecurity in Tennessee. One of the most effective ways to persuade legislators to get involved with our health and anti-hunger policy initiatives is by providing county health fact sheets tailored to their districts. This project entails updating our Tennessee county fact sheets in Microsoft Office with the most up to date information.
