Volunteer at Inner Harbour campus

Inner Harbour's experiential philosophy offers many unique opportunities to make a difference. Our volunteers contribute in a variety of ways, from large-scale, day-long service projects to weekly, one-on-one mentoring sessions with our youth. Other opportunities include tutoring and working with our therapy animals.

If you are interested in volunteer opportunities, please email Kari Lensing or call (770) 852-6300 for more information.

Current Volunteer Positions:

Mentors:
We seek mature adults that will provide a positive role model relationship through investing quality time in getting to know the children.

Tutors:
Tutors are very important in providing students with more personal attention with academic subjects such as math, reading, handwriting, spelling, etc.

Activity Facilitator:
These volunteers will meet with groups of residents to brighten up their day with an activity. We are seeking self-motivated leaders who can create recreational activities and participate in them with the groups.

Life Skills Coach:
Volunteers under this category will assist teenagers in developing the skills necessary to become self-sufficient. This may include applying for employment, teaching youth financial literacy, time management, work efficacy, food preparation, and social etiquette.

Art Therapy Assistant:
We are seeking volunteers in the field of education or psychology who have not only a passion for art but are able to assist the youth with therapeutic projects. Organization skills are a must.

Equine Therapy Assistant:
Those who aid at our horse barn must be comfortable around horses, able to lead youth, and willing to get a little dirty.

Yoga Assistant:
We are seeking volunteers not only willing to be positive role models through participation, but those who are willing to tend to classroom cleanliness.
