Hope Center

MISSION
The Hope Center exists to encourage hope among the people of Gwinnett Estates by sharing the love of Jesus through caring, serving, equipping, and educating. 

Here are many ways to get involved at the Hope Center. Below are some of the programs where you can volunteer to serve others:

AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM

On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, The Hope Center is filled with children from 2 years old to middle school. We need volunteers to help with homework, play games, read, serve juice and snacks, and give hugs.

ENGLISH CLASS

Don’t be afraid! You DO NOT have to teach, and you DO NOT need to speak Spanish. We meet on Tuesday evenings and need volunteers to listen and talk with small groups of adults as they practice the English skills being taught.

WOMEN’S EXERCISE PROGRAM

Can you teach aerobics, dance, walk/run, or lead any type of exercise activity? We need your help for 1-2 hours each month. You will love the women who are a part of this ministry!

WOMEN’S HAIRCUT MINISTRY

It is so much fun to see the women of the neighborhood come out for a little pampering. We need stylists to cut or wash hair. You can volunteer once a month or once a year.

CLOTHING CLOSET MINISTRY

Help provide clothing to children and families in the neighborhood. There are opportunities to sort or distribute clothing.

KIDS’ SOCCER PROGRAM

You can share the love of Christ by playing soccer with the kids!

HOPE CENTER SUMMER CAMP

Play games, create art and teach the Bible to the kids of Gwinnett Estates.

SEASONAL EVENTS

There are 3 BIG Community Events throughout the year—Fall Festival, Christmas Sponsorship, and the 5K/Back-to-School Party. On these days, we bombard the neighborhood with the love of Jesus through giving, serving, and having a great time.

Healthy Youth USA, a not for profit organization, is an amateur athletic program for youth that focuses on child development through sports and recreation. We currently offer the "After School Club" to over 85 students daily in the Sandy Springs and Dunwoody Atlanta area. The After School Club has been a great success and has become valuable within the North Atlanta community.

We are looking for student volunteers who are eager to explore youth service experiences, enjoy sports and recreation, and who could benefit from working with children. We would love to speak with you regarding any opportunities you have that would allow Healthy Youth USA to become an organization your students would choose as a volunteer option. Please let us know if you offer service learning academic credit. Volunteering with Healthy Youth USA provides hands on daily experiences utilized in career fields across many industries.

At the After School Club, student volunteers will work collectively with paid employees providing elementary age children with supervised sporting activities, homework & tutor services, all offering a variety of recreational and educational learning objectives. The average volunteer will be requested to serve within the hours of 2:30pm-6:30pm, M-F. We are very flexible to students various schedules and availability between those days and times.
