Volunteer: Assist in tutoring an adult as they embark on their journey of learning to read for the first time!

If you're reading this, you're doing better than 13% of our community.  Sadly, 1 out of every 8 people living in Lubbock County are illiterate.  But you can help!

We're on the lookout for ABE (adult basic education) volunteers to help teach our adult students how to read!  You'll be working one-on-one with a singular student to help them learn how to read.  Whether they've never learned before or have dsylexic tendencies that have prevented them from getting it, we have specialized curriculum to help.

This opportunity is entirely flexible: you'll work with your student to set your own schedule.  Only want to meet once a week?  Done.  Want to meet up at a local Starbucks that's close to both of you?  Done.  You take the reigns and figure out a pace that works with you and your student.  And we provide all the support you'll need!

 

In today's world, reading is paramount.  From text messages to articles, from social media to newspapers, people need to read.  And you can help them achieve that goal.

 

About Literacy Lubbock:

Literacy Lubbock was established in 1989 as a local nonprofit dedicated to helping adults learn how to read.  Since then, we've helped more than 7,000 people in the Hub City learn how to read, get their GED, or learn English as a second language and we've distributed more than 50,000 children's books.   Our mission and goal is simple: to support and execute programs that enable people to become literate. 

Because at the end of the day, we believe education and literacy levels are the root cause for a lot of today's problems.  Literacy has a weighty impact on nearly every socio-economic issue plaguing us today, from prison rates, health, employment, poverty levels, and so on.  The surest way for a person to improve their circumstances is by improving their education, and we believe that journey should be accessible, available, and free to any who want it.

Literacy Lubbock is about changing lives and making our world a better place through the people who live here.  Knowledge is power.  And we're determined to share it.

Volunteer: Make Your Summer Matter — Volunteer with Refuge Services

Looking for a meaningful way to spend your summer here in Lubbock?

Refuge Services is inviting volunteers (ages 16+) to be part of something bigger this season. Whether you're a student on summer break wanting hands-on experience or someone looking to give back in a purposeful way, there’s a place for you here.

Refuge Services is a nonprofit organization based in Lubbock that provides equine-assisted therapies designed to support the whole person- body, mind, and spirit. Founded in 1999, Refuge offers services such as hippotherapy, therapeutic riding, and equine-assisted psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults in a safe, supportive, and Christian environment.

Through the unique partnership between clients, licensed professionals, and horses, individuals are able to work on physical, emotional, cognitive, and relational goals in ways that often go beyond traditional therapy. Refuge Services is committed to helping individuals and families overcome challenges, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and experience meaningful growth and healing.

Summer is one of our busiest and most impactful times, and our volunteers make it all possible. Your time, energy, and willingness to serve help create a safe, encouraging environment where clients can grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

As a volunteer, you might:

Assist during client sessions alongside instructors and therapists

Help care for our horses and maintain stalls and arenas

Support behind-the-scenes needs to keep our facility running smoothly

Be part of creating a welcoming, uplifting space for families and clients

Every role plays a part in changing lives- and no experience with horses is required, just a willing heart.

Hours of Operation:
Monday–Thursday: 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Closed weekends

If you’re ready to make your summer count, we’d love to connect with you.

Volunteer: Meals on Wheels Drivers needed!


Volunteer Drivers

Volunteer drivers, both regular and substitute, are needed each weekday to deliver meals. You do not need to commit to a set schedule to volunteer for LMOW. Some drivers prefer to take the same route on the same day each week whereas others prefer to just substitute when needed. For many of our clients, the LMOW volunteer may be the only person they see during the day. That daily human contact is just as important as the nutritious meal they are receiving. Each route takes approximately 1 hour to deliver. Most routes have 10 – 16 clients. A background check and one hour orientation is required for all delivery volunteers.

If you would like to try us out first, we can pair you up with one of our volunteers for a ‘ride-along’.  Just give us a call at (806)792-7971.

Delivery volunteer opportunities are available from 10:45 am – Noon, Monday – Friday.  Non-delivery volunteer opportunities are available throughout the day Monday through Friday.

If you would like to volunteer, give us a call at 806-792-7971, or
you may fill out our Volunteer Application Form online: https://lubbockmealsonwheels.org/volunteer/apply/

PLEASE BE SURE TO COME BACK HERE AND LOG YOUR HOURS!
