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).
