Join "The Covey" Volunteer Guild

Help keep kids off the streets of Atlanta as a Covey Volunteer guild member!

The Covey is a group of men and women dedicated to meeting the needs of Atlanta’s kids who find themselves on the street, ages 17-21. Guild members have the opportunity to help in almost every volunteer capacity possible, whether they work with our kids to reach education and employment goals or assist with event & fundraising efforts. For just $35 a person or $60 a couple, members of The Covey volunteer on committees: Holiday celebrations, quarterly events, membership recruitment, meal donations, or fundraising event committee. Guild dues provide education, both academic and parenting, and social activities for the CHGA residents. We are pleased to launch the Covey and invite you to be a member. ***Keep the "Click Here" for applications

Letter from our Executive Director:

Dear Covey Members,

Thank you so much for your ongoing support of Covenant House. I cannot begin to express how much your care and presence means in the lives of the young people we serve! As many of you have already heard we are proud to announce that due to the hard work of many of our volunteers and supporters, we are planning a major expansion in Fall of this year. We are in the process of purchasing an ideal site that will meet current and future needs almost tripling the amount of youth we can serve. This property will not only enable us to serve more kids, but we will be able to provide a broader and more in-depth array of services. But we cannot do this without your help! It is more critical than ever that we grow the ranks of the Covey and spread the word about the work of Covenant House! We would love to have your help by signing up for volunteer opportunities for our new property in August, September, October, & beyond. We need committees for clean up, renovations, decorating & landscaping. Also, I would love to take you on a tour of the new facility and brainstorm with you about how we can utilize all the many talents of our volunteers. Please reach out to me or Kellie Glenn if you would like to see our new home!

Thank you again for all you do and for helping to make our dream of a new home a reality for Atlanta's homeless youth!

Warmest regards,

Allison Ashe
