Volunteer one hour of your time each week during the school year to provide mentorship and homework assistance to the elementary and middle school children in our after-school programs. This is a deeply enriching experience for both student and volunteer. 
ORIENTATION FOR ALL NEW AND EXISTING VOLUNTEERS
We are excited about our move into the new building located at 2210 Marietta Blvd. NW, but we know you must have tons of questions!
Agape provides a supervised, safe haven in the after-school programs at a time of day when teen crime and teen pregnancy spike among unsupervised youths. During this time, tutoring and homework assistance for one hour each week during the school year. Students and mentors are often paired in elementary school and the relationship may last through high school graduation.

Once you complete the document, please bring a printed copy with you to orientation or email it to volunteer@agapeatlanta.org.
