A Note for EVENT VOLUNTEERS

When you are on Covenant House Georgia's campus, you are entering the home of the young people we serve. We ask that all volunteers help us maintain a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment by being mindful of your language and behavior. This includes refraining from cursing or saying anything that could be offensive. Please also wear attire that is appropriate for your volunteer activity (for example, work clothes and sneakers for campus beautification projects).

Thank you for sharing your time with us! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at: chgavolunteer@covenanthouse.org

Volunteer Age Requirement

Due to HIPAA Laws and our Confidentiality Policy, all volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you can still get involved by holding a drive for urgently needed items to help our youth succeed in the next steps of their journey toward productive adulthood.

Please contact our Volunteer Team at chgavolunteer@covenanthouse.org before hosting a drive or creating outreach kits to determine our current needs.
