Volunteer Opportunities

---

  THS Shelter (THS) is a Christian-based, all volunteer agency serving those who are experiencing homelessness and other critical needs. Volunteers meet at our administrative offices two days a week. Volunteer activities involve the following activities based on volunteer experience/preferences: case management duties; financial/legal record-keeping; connecting with clients directly (through phone, texts, and emails) in order to assess needs/circumstances and arrange for services. We also schedule some in-person appointments for showers or interviews.  Volunteers are needed on a consistent weekly basis in a variety of roles. Ideally, we would appreciate commitments to weekly 3-hour shifts or more, although there is flexibility. Interested individuals should contact THS Shelter directly by text (470-729-2390) or email (thsemergencyshelter@gmail.com).  See our webpage at www.THSshelter.com

   Volunteers are asked to complete basic information/disclosure forms and agree to a background check (at no cost), as well as participate in a brief on-site orientation.

Open Hands provide food in our community on Tuesdays and Thursdays 2pm-4pm.  If you are interested in helping them in any way, please visit their website or call their Executive Director.  Ms. Sue McGukin 770-757-9557

Steps to Becoming a CASA Volunteer 

1. Submit the application. 2.Complete paperwork. 3. Have an informal interview—we'll call you to get it scheduled 4. Complete 40 hours of pre-service training--includes 30 hours of training and10 hours of Courtroom observation 5. Smile when you're sworn in by a judge as a CASA volunteer! From helping siblings find permanent placement together, to finding a child a stable home with a relative, to uncovering information that helps reunite a loving family, CASA volunteers make incredible differences in the lives of children who have experienced abuse and neglect. As a CASA volunteer, you will talk with the child and their family members, teachers and other stakeholders to find out where the child will be happiest and safest: with the parent(s), a relative, a foster family, or an adoptive family. You will speak for the child in court by submitting a fact-based recommendation for placement to the judge. During the life of the case, you act as the one constant in the child’s life as they experience changes in foster placements, schools, and caseworkers. Time Commitment You will spend approximately 10 hours per month working on your case. The beginning of a case is the intensive, fact-finding stage and may require more time. The majority of cases require presenting recommendations to the judge several times over the course of a year. As a volunteer advocate, you will be assigned to an Advocacy Coordinator, a CASA staff member, who will support your efforts and attend court hearings with you.
