Volunteering Information

Making a Difference…One Volunteer at a Time -

The Blount County Children’s Advocacy Center is always appreciative of volunteer support from our local community members. As a volunteer with New Hope, you have several options and opportunities to help. We have many volunteers who come to the office on a weekly basis to answer phones, greet guests, and help with other general office tasks as needed, while others prefer to assist with our many special events throughout the year.

Many individuals have a busy schedule, but are able to help in other ways and we always welcome any help or support offered, including monetary donations, donating items from our Wish List, and other creative projects as they arise. We have a wide range of volunteers at the center from students at Maryville College who join our program to learn more about non-profit work and to help children in our area, to adults who join the volunteer team to make a difference and use their skills in a positive way.

To learn more about our volunteer program or to start volunteering today, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Jennifer Morgan at jenm@blountkids.org or at (865) 981-2000. I look forward to you joining our team to help fight child abuse in Blount County!

Golfing for a Cause

 

On July 14th at Pine Lakes Golf Course in Rockford, New Hope Blount County Children’s Advocacy Center celebrated a very successful golf tournament put on by the East Tennessee Military Association (ETMA) Federal Credit Union.  Through the hard work of Event Chair Sam Daugherty and committee members, Trudy Hughes, Tammie Smeltzer, Rick Scrugham and Fran Lindardo, the first time tournament hosted almost 100 golfers and brought in $3,100.00 to help make a positive difference in the lives of children affected by abuse in our community.

 

New Hope would like to thank the golfers, volunteers, and sponsors that made the event possible – ETMA Federal Credit Union, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), MSW Interactive Design, Maryville Kiwanis Club, Rothchild’s Catering, and 103.5 WIMZ Radio.  The committee hopes to make this an annual event, please visit the event website for additional details at www.etma-golf.com.
