Current Volunteer Opportunities
-
Become a 5th Street Cafe (Memory Cafe) volunteer with Dementia Friendly Fort Worth. On the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 10 am to 1 pm, volunteers arrive ahead of meetings to assist with set-up and prep for event (this can include putting out signs, being a door greeter, coffee/water setup, craft setup etc.) Volunteers greet/welcome participants who have some form of cognitive change and care partners. Pair up with a participant to assist them in participating in the activities planned for the session, this includes art, crafts, games, group share, movement and singing. The ability to redirect participants may at times be needed to keep them engaged in the current activity. Following the 1-hour session, participants re-join with their care partner and everyone is invited to enjoy lunch provided by the event sponsor. Care partners engage in a support group during the memory cafe time frame.
If you’ve volunteered at 5th Street Café before, you know the magic that happens in that room. When you engage consistently, trust grows, comfort increases, and connections deepen. That consistency builds your confidence — and that increased confidence naturally leads to more meaningful, relaxed, and engaging interactions for our participants. More magic becomes possible. -
Some of the most meaningful service happens one car ride at a time.
Families to Freedom is looking for volunteer drivers to transport people in need to a new home, a shelter, or a new city that will welcome them with open arms. It is a personal, direct form of service that can make a life-changing difference for someone in crisis.
This opportunity is a good fit for people with flexibility in their schedule and a heart for serving others quietly and with care. Retired individuals, civil servants, social workers, counselors, and those with flexible weekday availability tend to be a natural fit.
Getting started includes a prescreening call, background check, and about 1.5 hours of orientation and training.
Know someone who might be the right fit? Pass this along. To learn more or ask questions ahead of orientation, call 833-903-7233.

Where your time becomes someone else's progress.
Volunteer Opportunities is a curated list of ways to contribute your time and skills to organizations doing work worth your effort. Every posting here comes from an organization that has thought carefully about what they need and what a good volunteer experience looks like.
For Professionals Offering Their Time
Volunteering is its own practice. The opportunities here range from one-time engagements to sustained commitments, from skill-based contributions to service that asks for steadiness and presence over time.
Read each description closely. The best volunteer experiences happen when the opportunity matches the moment you are in, the time you have, and the way you want to contribute.
For Organizations Sharing an Opportunity
Community Connections welcomes volunteer opportunities from nonprofit organizations who are ready to receive volunteers thoughtfully. Describe what the role involves, what kind of volunteer tends to thrive in it, and what the commitment looks like. Clarity invites the right kind of response.

It depends on the opportunity. Some ask for a few hours one time. Others invite a longer rhythm of service across weeks or months. Every listing describes the commitment so you can find the match that fits your season.

Not always. Some opportunities call for specific expertise and some welcome steady presence and willingness. The posting will tell you what the organization is hoping for, and the best match is usually where your skills, your time, and your interest meet.

Each listing links to the organization so you can express interest directly. We share the invitation. The relationship is built between you and the team you will be serving alongside.
