6 Atlanta Volunteer Opportunities for Teens

Get involved! Many of my clients have requested a list of volunteer opportunities for kids of various ages. Some organizations allow kids to volunteer on their own, and others require parental supervision. I recommend inquiring in advance, as policies do change from time to time.

​Please enjoy these 6 opportunities for volunteering in Atlanta.  For your convenience, I have created a downloadable brochure below, or you can click here!

1) Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System (15 & up) There are many ways you can give back to your community by volunteering at a library branch near you. Visit their website for an application and list of all the jobs and opportunities you might be interested in. 

2) Fulton County Animal Shelter (18 & up) Do you love animals? Then the Fulton County Animal Shelter needs your help. Visit their website or email the volunteer coordinator with any questions you might have. (Phone: 404.613.0358)
