Charitable Donations Guide
Central Services utilizes volunteers in all aspects of our operation. While some volunteers come from the “Working For Change” job training program, all volunteers from the community are welcome. We accept ages 15 and older and require a minor’s guardian to sign consent forms on their first day of volunteering. Many other programs that require volunteer or community service hours, such as Tennessee Promise, can be completed here. Bring any required paperwork with you when you come to volunteer. If you are a new volunteer, you may come to the office at 8:00 AM for orientation. Orientations happen any day a new volunteer arrives, so you do not need to schedule this ahead of time. You may call the agency the day prior to say you’re coming if you’d like.
