Volunteering and community engagement are important parts of positive youth development and substance abuse prevention.  GUIDE encourages community service by promoting volunteer opportunities within Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta and by accepting youth and adult volunteers for certain programs and events.

We do not currently have the capacity to accept volunteers on a regular basis.  Please access the links below to search for community service opportunities in your area.
