1. Sign up via your computer at my.backrs.com or by downloading the Backrs mobile app from the Apple App or Google Play Stores.

2. Tell us a little about your background and experiences by completing your profile. This takes 5 mins. (Up to 15 if you'd like to give students more details about your hobbies and interests.)

3. We add you to identity-based, regional, university, and career-path Affinity Networks where you can connect with students you're well-positioned to support.

4. In Networks, you can answer students' questions, post resources or job/internship opportunities, and share insights into your college and career journey by responding to Backstage Pass posts. Though each of these actions takes a few minutes, they all have meaningful impacts on young people.

5. If you'd like to play a more involved role in a student's journey, you can join their panel of backrs. This enables you to view their goals, post on their personal feed, schedule Zoom check-ins, and even contribute to their Flourish Fund. It's a great choice for those looking to offer low-lift, relationship-driven support.

Frontline Response is a faith-based non-profit organization whose mission is to rescue men and women out of sex trafficking and homelessness and prevent the most vulnerable in society, our children from falling victim. Our street outreach, Princess Night, is one of our responses to combat the effects of human trafficking in and around the Metro Atlanta area.

Every Friday evening, volunteers gather with our staff for our anti-sex trafficking outreach, Princess Night. Volunteers gather for a brief time of training, to learn more about Frontline Response and what to expect during the outreach. The team travels together in a Frontline Response van to engage with individuals possibly being exploited in the commercial sex industry, offering prayer, resources, and hope. While engaging, deliver roses and handmade cards, communicating to women that they are valued and loved, and that there are opportunities for hope, rescue, and recovery. The cards include messages of encouragement and our 24/7 hotline number.

Must be 16 or older to participate. Volunteers under the age of 18 who would like to serve will need to have a parent or legal guardian complete a Parental Consent Form.

Are you seeking a volunteer opportunity in Dekalb County that provides a direct impact on student literacy?

Do you have 2 thirty minute intervals  per week to help an elementary school child in Dekalb County Public Schools improve their reading?

Become a Book Buddy!

Book Buddies is a virtual reading program that was developed in response to the pandemic to continue to support literacy development in elementary aged students. Students read online twice per week with a virtual volunteer as well as independently throughout the week. Reading hours are tracked and students receive incentives based on the number of hours they have read. Because we are working with young children, each volunteer must undergo a background check.

Book Buddies runs Monday – Thursday from 4-7. Volunteers are asked to sign up for a minimum of two sessions so they can be paired with the same student for both sessions each week to increase the chances of a successful mentoring match.

Posse is a four year, full-tuition, merit-based leadership scholarship and program for high school students who may be overlooked by the traditional college admissions process, who represent diversity of background and experience, and who are ready to truly develop their leadership skills. The Posse program sends students in teams of ten to one of our partner institutions so they can support one another.

The Dynamic Assessment Process (DAP) is Posse's unique evaluation method for identifying young leaders who might be missed by traditional admissions criteria, but who can excel at selective colleges and universities. 

The Large Group Interview (DAP 1) is one of the most exciting pieces of the DAP selection process. This interview involves students in a series of interactive workshops, giving them an opportunity to showcase their leadership and communication skills. Through observation, Posse staff and volunteer evaluators watch for interpersonal talents indicative of a student's potential to succeed in college and work well within a diverse team. Volunteer evaluators are looking for what we call "standout" students, i.e., students who are great communicators, work well in teams or with their peers, can resolve conflict and lead discussions, who are positive, creative and catch your attention. 

DAP 1 sessions will take place from approximately 3-9pm, Monday-Friday, August 11-18. Volunteers can sign up for one or multiple sessions. Volunteers must be college graduates and willing to attend a volunteer training session. If interested, please contact atlanta@possefoundation.org.
