Mentor Youth in Foster Care with the Dare to Dream Program
Atlanta Angels is looking for committed mentors to join our Dare to Dream program, which supports youth (ages 11-22) in foster care or at risk of aging out. As a mentor, you’ll have the opportunity to build a one-on-one relationship with a youth, helping them set goals and achieve their dreams. Mentors meet with their mentees at least twice a month for a one-year commitment, providing the guidance and encouragement they need to succeed. We are currently seeking mentors for youth on our waitlist in Cherokee, Cobb, Paulding, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Fayette Henry and Clayton counties.
If you're ready to make a lasting impact on a youth’s life and transform your own, join us for a Discovery Session to learn more about volunteering. Sessions are held every other Tuesday at 6pm or Thursday at 12pm. Can’t attend? Schedule a one-on-one discovery call to fit your schedule!

Mission Statement
To walk alongside children in the foster care system, as well as their caretakers, by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.
Description
Atlanta Angels is a foster care non-profit that was created to help empower children and build sustainable foster homes. We are a community of people that walk alongside foster children and their caretakers by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building and mentorship. Our solution to the foster care crisis are the Love Box family support program and Dare to Dream youth mentor programs. Our programs utilize a trauma-informed, wrap-around service model that strengthens relationships between foster families, youth in foster care, and bio families. Our volunteers are everyday people who meet practical needs while spending quality time with the whole family building positive community. They are changing the way kids and parents experience the foster care system. At Atlanta Angels we believe in the power of love and the value of friendship and positive role models for kids and youth in foster care. We want to connect people passionate about making a difference in the foster care community to our most vulnerable children and youth who have experienced neglect and abuse and the selfless parents who care for them.
