Regional Council of Churches of Atlanta
AmeriCorps
An AmeriCorps service project for the city of Atlanta involves developing a volunteer program that will serve the participants at the Thomasville Center of Hope pilot center (1835 Henry Thomas Drive, Atlanta 30315). The majority of the volunteer opportunities available involve working with the after school program, which is facilitated by the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta. One immediate need is for volunteer tutors. You can find additional volunteer opportunities by going to the City of Atlanta volunteer website, iamatlanta.org.

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
