Volunteer
Individual Volunteering
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Live Thrive’s CHaRM! As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we rely on assistance from volunteers!
All volunteers must complete a Volunteer Orientation session before signing up for volunteer shifts. Completion of the orientation allows you to volunteer at both CHaRM locations.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to volunteer independently. Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please note that we do not accept court-ordered community service volunteers.
Next Volunteer Orientation: Saturday, Nov. 7 @ CHaRM DeKalb
