Hello Volunteers!
Welcome to Tampa Volunteers. I started this group to bridge the gap between two things I love: giving back to the Tampa Bay area and meeting great people. My goal is to host 3–4 volunteer opportunities and 1–2 social events every month.
We aren't tied to one specific organization; instead, we pivot to wherever the need is greatest. To make sure we are the best possible partners for our local nonprofits, we have a few Community Guidelines to keep things running smoothly:
- Respect the RSVP: Our partners rely on us. If you can't make it, please update your status to "Not Going" at least 2 days in advance so someone on the waitlist can take your spot.
- Reliability Matters: To protect our reputation with nonprofits, 2 no-shows will result in removal from the group.
- Notifications are Key: Please ensure your Meetup notifications are ON for RSVP changes and Organizer messages. This is how we communicate last-minute location changes or parking info!
- Socials are a Reward: To keep our focus on service, social events are reserved for those who have volunteered with us in the past or are signed up for an upcoming shift.
- A Safe Space: While we love seeing friendships (or more!) blossom, this isn't a dating group. Please keep interactions respectful. If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, reach out to me directly.
The Fine Print:
- Liability: By joining, you agree that Tampa Volunteers and its organizers are not liable for any damages or injuries during events. We are the connectors, not the event operators.
- Profiles: Please use a recent, clear profile photo so we can find you at events!
Feedback & Help: This is my first time organizing a Meetup, and I’d love your input! If you have suggestions or want to help me co-organize events, please reach out. The more the merrier!
By joining, you’re agreeing to these guidelines. I can’t wait to meet you all and make a difference together.
Happy Volunteering,
Zabi

In partnership with the National Cemetery Administration, volunteers everywhere will be at National Cemeteries, VA Grant funded Cemeteries, or at a local cemetery (like us 😊) across the nation.
🇺🇸 Patriot Day is not just a day of remembrance.
It's a day of service — honoring their sacrifice through action.What we get to do as volunteers:
- During this event, we will participate in cleaning headstones and / or assist with various grounds cleanup at this national cemetery.
