At Hire Local(SMA), transformation starts with people—people like you. Every day, we work to uplift youth transitioning from foster care, support families in crisis, and strengthen our community through compassionate, hands-on service.
But real, lasting change takes all of us.
Whether you volunteer, donate, partner, or simply spread the word, your support helps us provide life-changing resources to those who need it most. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected South Memphis—one young life at a time.
Hire Local(SMA) opened its doors in 2000 to help organize neighborhood associations in the urban communities of South Memphis. Over time we’ve expanded our services to serve youth in foster care and families in need. Despite our growth, we hold fast to our core belief that civic engagement is the bedrock of strong communities, and that
Strong Communities, Promote Strong Families.
We drive impactful programs that uplift and empower residents. Join us in creating sustainable change in South Memphis.
