You Can Sit With Us

You Can Sit With Us is a Memphis-based nonprofit focused on connection, healing, and real-life skills that help people build stronger, more independent lives.

We create experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways, especially during times when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. Our work blends mental health awareness, community support, and hands-on education around sustainability, food access, and self-reliance.

Through events like the Memphis Mushroom Festival and other community gatherings, we focus on teaching practical skills such as growing food, supporting pollinators, foraging, and reconnecting with nature. At the same time, we create spaces where people can feel seen, included, and supported without pressure or judgment.

Our volunteers are a huge part of what makes this possible. Whether you are helping with event setup, guiding guests, supporting educational booths, or just being a welcoming presence, you are helping create a space where people can learn, connect, and feel like they belong.

If you are someone who wants to be part of something that is both grounded and meaningful, you are in the right place.
