VOX ATL Volunteer Application

VOX ATL has over 30 years' worth of teen-created articles, poems, essays, photos, art, short stories, horoscopes, recipes and puzzles in our archives. Help us dig through our crates to search for fun pieces to highlight, including cool snapshots of Atlanta history, award-worthy puns that stand the test of time, or stunning parallels that would resonate with today's teens. 

We'll sort through our old print editions, take photos, scan articles, and organize it all for future use! 

Phone savvy with great people skills? Help us clean up our distribution list! Twice a year, VOX ATL publishes a print edition that goes out to libraries, schools, youth development nonprofits, and other places that serve metro Atlanta teens. Ahead of our Fall/Winter 2026 print edition release, we want to check-in with our supporters and partners and update our distribution list. 

We want to send a little love to our recent VOX grads starting their first post-secondary fall. Build boxes, pack goodies, and write supportive messages to let the Class of 2026 know that we're thinking of them and wish them well. 

Interested in volunteering with VOX ATL and want to know how to get started? Join us on Zoom for a virtual volunteer training. We'll discuss our program offerings, volunteer opportunities, protocols & procedures, and tips for being an effective "guide on the side" for VOX ATL teens. 

*** Ambassador Training is scheduled for August 27  from 5:30 -7pm at the  VOX ATL Office****
