The platform is free to use and keeps all personal information private, making it easy for anyone to show up and contribute.

Beyond single-day projects, participants can step into the Civic Fellows program — a deeper commitment that builds leadership skills while supporting local nonprofits. The most recent cohort just celebrated a graduation ceremony, officially completing their journey to becoming Civic Leaders in the community.

Volunteers can also verify service hours, track past and upcoming projects, and get personalized help finding the right fit for their schedule and interests.

Fall is here, and YMCA of Metro Atlanta is making it count. Youth sports registration is open now, with options designed to meet every young athlete wherever they are — whether they're just starting out or ready to compete.

Beyond the kids' programming, the Y runs over 3,000 group fitness classes weekly — cycling, yoga, Pilates, and more — making it one of the region's most active community hubs.
