Volunteers are needed in Cannon, Clay, Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Smith, Van Buren, Warren and White counties.

As a volunteer, you will be assigned to clients who reside in your area. They ask that you spend a minimum of one visit per month visiting; additional visits are left up to the volunteer.  Training and support is provided by the Guardianship conservators and staff.
