Volunteer Application
NICE is working to empower the refugee and immigrant population in Nashville through resettlement, employment, education, health and social services. We can’t do it alone. We need the heads, hands and hearts of committed people like you. Whether you want to volunteer with your family, friends, coworkers, or on your own, we can help you find the perfect opportunity.

Our Volunteer Process:

1.) Complete an online application. This allows us to get to know a little bit about you! After we go over your application, you will receive an email with onboarding steps for the specified volunteer opportunity. If you need more information or would like to talk to a staff member before completing the onboarding steps, email volunteer@empowernashville.org to request a call

2.) Submit the background check and requested onboarding items

3.) Placement and training. We do our best to put you into a volunteer position you will love while providing training to make sure you feel comfortable in your new role.

5.) Begin volunteering! Now you’re ready to get out there and serve Nashville, all we ask is that you track your volunteer hours and report them back to us for our records!

Feel free to contact the Volunteer Coordinator with any questions at volunteer@empowernashville.org.
