Invite Us to Speak at Your Next Gathering.
Did you know that Corners Outreach is partnered with Title 1 schools in our community, which means that 90% of our students qualify for free lunch because they live below the poverty line? Is your church and/or school looking for volunteer opportunities? Do you have friends or associates who would want to hear more about Corners Industries and how we are paying all of our employees an annual salary of living wages? We would be happy to connect with anyone you know who might be able to help us grow in all sorts of ways. If you are interested, fill out the form below and we will get back to you within 3 business days.

Meet & Greets
Quarterly meetings that keep you connected
If you missed one of our meet and greets, that's okay! Review what you missed here.
Q3 Meet and Greet
For our Q3 Meet and Greet, we connected attendees with the director who was in charge of the area that wanted to volunteer in. If you missed the meeting, here is all the info you need to know about becoming a volunteer or volunteering in a new way with Corners Outreach:
Go to our volunteer page and fill out our volunteer survey (unless you already have)!
Sign up for one of our current volunteer needs (or more than one):*
We need folks willing to come to homework clubs and share about their career and how they got where they are today! Our kids do not understand the options ahead of them or how to get there – YOU can inspire them by showing up and sharing. Sign up here.
Teen Nights happen every Monday evening in Norcross and we need volunteer to lead activities, help, and bring food for the evening. Sign up here. Our mission is to increase high school graduation, so inspiring our teens and connecting with them is key!
Tutoring at our homework clubs is where the magic happens. When Corners Outreach students start with us, more than 80% are behind in their reading level and need individual tutoring to get back on grade level. Can you help? Sign up here.
3. Answer a phone call or respond to an email with more information on your first visit after you sign up!
