Do you have an hour a week to spare?  If so, COMPEER ATLANTA can use you!

COMPEER ATLANTA locates volunteers from the community to be a friend to a 
person in need of companionship.  Volunteers meet regularly with their 
friends at mutually convenient times to share activities such as movies, 
sports, shopping, nature walks, a coffee break ... The possibilities are 
endless!

COMPEER ATLANTA VOLUNTEERS are sensitive, caring individuals, from all 
walks of life, all races, all religious backgrounds, and from both urban 
and suburban neighborhoods.  Volunteers are asked to commit one hour per 
week for one year.  COMPEER ATLANTA provides training and ongoing support 
to volunteers.  The friendship relationship provides the client with role 
modeling, companionship, and social opportunities that they may not be 
able to get otherwise.

COMPEER ATLANTA currently has 200 adults waiting to be matched with a 
volunteer.  People who have mental illness, are developmentally disabled, 
are elderly, or are at risk of becoming homeless need positive support to 
combat loneliness and isolation.  Volunteers have a unique opportunity to 
change someone's life, and in the process, enrich their own lives.

IF YOU CARE, YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A VOLUNTEER FOR COMPEER 
ATLANTA.  IF YOU HAVE AN HOUR A WEEK TO SPARE, CALL COMPEER ATLANTA:
