Clarksville,TN Volunteers is an organization that was was created to help citizens find meaningful opportunities to give back to their community in a way which makes a difference, and helps enrich the lives of others. We are also a networking hub for volunteer coordinators of charitable organizations seeking to build capacity for effective volunteering through support, peer mentoring and professional training opportunities. Participants in the organization include both individuals interested in volunteering, and community service organizations looking to find that perfect volunteer.

How will it work?

One of the early organizational meetings

Clarksville,TN Volunteers will be driven by a “Board of Directors” composed of citizens from all walks of life in the Clarksville, Montgomery County, TN area who will play an active role in developing the organization and its vision.

Bi-monthly “Volunteer Network” meetings will be held to facilitate the exchange of ideas, methods and best practices in the management of volunteers and to address mutual interests and concerns. The Volunteer network helps build and develop partnerships in the community through the sharing of resources. We are working together to enhance the profile and importance of community involvement.

Clarksville, TN Volunteers is also building a searchable web-database to find volunteer opportunities that fit citizen’s skills and experience. The website ClarksvilleTNVolunteers.com is hosted by Compu-Net Enterprises and is currently under construction.
