Volunteer!
Do Something Good for Your Community:
Volunteer at the World Peace Cafe
People volunteer at the World Peace Cafe for a variety of reasons. Some people are Buddhist, and they volunteer to support the Buddhist community here in Atlanta. Other people are vegan/vegetarian or care about socially and environmentally responsible business, and they volunteer to support what they feel is an important project. Still others are just looking for a fun experience, to meet other people, or because they just like volunteering.
Whatever reason you might have to volunteer, we're ready to help you have a fun, safe, and meaningful volunteer experience. You can get started today by calling Melanie Boyd at 404-256-2100 or by emailing her at volunteer [at] worldpeacecafeatlanta.com.
