Get Involved

Give Time

Volunteers are incredibly important to the work we do at New American Pathways and are essential to our mission of helping refugees and Georgia thrive. Across our wide range of programs and services, volunteers play a key role in helping us meet the critical needs of new Americans. There are plenty of ways to get involved, individually or with your business, community, school or faith group.

Bright Futures After School Program:

Our after-school program is a free, comprehensive program serving refugee and immigrant students who need support in English language, academics, social and cultural adjustment, and educational engagement. Volunteers provide homework support, help develop English skills, and lead educational, extracurricular, and recreational activities. Volunteers can work with elementary and/or middle school students.

Elementary Hours: Monday – Thursday | 2:30pm – 5:30pm
Middle School Hours: Monday – Thursday | 4:00pm – 6:30pm

Clothing, Toys, Furniture, or Household Items

New American Pathways is not collecting clothing, toys, furniture or household items. We ask that you contact The Welcome Co-op to learn about their specific needs for the Shop of Hope.

The Welcome Co-op supports Atlanta’s four resettlement agencies through apartment set ups, logistics and donation management for newly arrived refugees and SIVs. They offer clothing, household items, and furniture, and can pick up donations within 10 miles of Tucker. Donation drop-offs are accepted Monday–Friday, 10am–3pm.

To contact The Welcome Co-Op, email them at info@welcomeco-op.org
