Volunteers are divided into groups of 8 to 10 members. TeamWorks volunteers then work together over the next two months on a series of projects focusing on a particular area of need such as literacy, AIDS support, or homelessness and hunger. In group reflection sessions, volunteers get a chance to discuss their chosen issue and get to know their fellow team members. Jones has been instrumental to the success of this growing program, which is an especially good learning experience for new volunteers. Thanks in large part to Jones' dedication, TeamWorks has launched many Atlantans into a life of service.
Many volunteers attend round after round.
Since he started as a TeamWorks volunteer in the early 1990s, Jones has steadily increased his involvement, becoming a group facilitator, and finally the TeamWorks chair. I think that TeamWorks is a great chance to learn about volunteer opportunities in Atlanta and to meet new people while serving the community.
