OPPORTUNITIES FOR SERVICE

Hope for Atlanta is a ministry to the disadvantaged. We work primarily with families in a wide area of Northeast Atlanta. Our goal is to share the Gospel, offer opportunities and information to make their lives better, and involve them, along with our volunteers. in making a strong and safe community.

Much of the success of our programs comes from volunteers, who are from churches and schools in our community. Volunteers serve as role models to inspire and encourage the residents to live a life under God’s principles. We offer opportunities for the children to stay out of gangs and perform well in school and sports, which will improve their lives.

All these programs were made possible in 2007-2008 by the generosity of donors and the involvement of volunteers, but most of all through the strength of our Lord.  Be part of our team!
