Volunteer in Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter

The Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter is committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty for families by building pathways to long-term self-sufficiency and providing quality early childhood education. Our mission centers on addressing the needs of the entire family, offering free services in exchange for their dedication to achieving independence and investing their time and energy into their future. We strive to be the leading organization in Metro Atlanta that empowers homeless children and their families to thrive, creating lasting change through care, education, and opportunity.

The Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter is a nonprofit organization that has been serving the Atlanta community for over 35 years, evolving from its original founding to meet the urgent needs of families facing homelessness. We are a compassionate team of educators, social workers, and volunteers, guided by a leadership team and board of directors who are passionate about supporting vulnerable children and their caregivers. With a strong volunteer base and a network of dedicated supporters, we provide a nurturing environment where families can rebuild their lives, bolstered by our deep roots in the community and a commitment to service excellence.
