volunteer interest meeting

BY AVA CONLEY

We would love to invite you to our first ever volunteer interest meeting luncheon at Common Ground Montgomery! 

Who: YOU, your co-workers, your kids, your friends 

What: Our goal in this meeting is to introduce you to Common Ground Montgomery. We would love to tell you our story, why we do what we do, give you a tour of our facility, feed you FREE food and tell you about the ways that you can get involved.  This event requires zero commitment.

When: Thursday, February 11th, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm.

Where: Common Ground Montgomery, 1516 Mobile Road, Montgomery, AL 36108

Why: We call our volunteers at CGM the backbone of our ministry - and when we say that, we really mean it. We are all about relationships and really believe that God moves in incredible ways through relationships. Our kids need relationships to see the Lord and we believe that you do, too. I truly believe that God uses our volunteers in incredible ways to impact our ministry and I also believe that God has something very special in store for them here as well.

If you work full time, bring a coworker along or if you are a stay at home mom, please feel free to bring your children along with you. This will be a very informative time, but also very informal. We plan to have these meetings approximately once a month or so, so if you can’t make this one, stay posted for the dates of our next event.

I am super excited about this luncheon and I hope that you would consider attending! 

It takes a lot of people to make organizations like Common Ground Montgomery and House to House work, and it takes a lot of volunteers to help make a difference with the work that CGM and H2H is a part of in the Washington Park neighborhood. Thanks to all the volunteers, official and unofficial, that help us do the work that we do.

current dates open for volunteer groups

Our volunteer coordinator, along with H2H's volunteer coordinator, recently sat down and hashed out the remaining dates open for groups that want to come down to volunteer. So if you're interested in volunteering, let us know!

fall 2014 after school program volunteer needs

We are VERY excited to announce that we will be partnering with Sylvan Learning Center. Sylvan will help us to assess our students and from there they create learning plans that are specific to every child's learning needs. We are so excited about this and are confident that Sylvan can help our students to academically successful.

With this being said, we are going to ask for some very specific volunteer needs that will help comply with our schedule and help the kids gain all that they can from the program.

• Monday 5 P.M. - 6:15 P.M. — We are looking for volunteers to help us create an atmosphere of learning while they help the kids with homework, reading books, and learning games on the computer.

• Tuesday and/ or Thursday 5 P.M. - 6:15 P.M. — There are “alternative” electives that we have set up for the kids, but this would be a great time for anyone who is able to teach an elective class on one or both days with the kids.

• Wednesday 5 P.M. - 6:15 P.M. — We are looking for individuals who can commit for the semester to lead a bible study.

• Friday 4 P.M. - 6:15 P.M. — We are using Friday's as a fun time to hang out and fellowship with the kids. We are asking groups (larger than at least 6) to help us plan our Fun Friday activities! If you or your organization would like to sign up for a Fun Friday it can look many different ways. We have a large school bus and a driver so you can plan an off campus field trip or a fun day at Common Ground. The options are limitless.

If you would like to help us out in any of these areas, please contact Ava Conley by using the CONTACT FORM or call our main office at 334.593.5803.
