How You Can Help

Extend hospitality and friendship to guests from around the world on your your own schedule

For 50 years Villa has provided a place for international guests to find a warm welcome and safety as they find their place in Atlanta. Central to our success is our team of volunteers who provide transportation and connections to our local community. Since COVID, we have seen a drop in volunteers and more than ever need your help welcoming guests with our famous southern hospitality. Contact our Program Assistant at [email protected] for more information or sign up here!

Transportation & Shopping

Many guests find transportation daunting on their arrival. Where is the nearest grocery store? How can I get to my job? Our volunteers step in to provide safe transportation for our guests when they first arrive. Some volunteers pick a night to host a weekly trip to a local grocery store. Volunteers specify when they are available and the parameters of their outing.

Help Us with Our Monthly

Meet & Greet

We have a large influx of new guests at the first of the month. Each first Friday of the month, Villa hosts a Meet & Greet to help our new guests get to know our friends, volunteers and other guests. Come and help us show some southern hospitality to our new friends. Or have your small group help us cook for the evening! All are welcome!

Teach a Class or Plan an Activity

Are you a gardener? Baker? Cook? Artist? We would love to have you share your talents with our guests. Plan an activity to help our guests learn a new skill! Popular classes include arts and crafts and simple cooking or baking. Or plan a game night with our guests-board games, pool tournaments or cornhole are all popular. Spend an hour or two at Villa and interact with our guests at your convenience!

Help Us Around Villa

With only two full-time staff at Villa, we rely on volunteers to bring their talents to liven up and beautify our grounds. Whether wielding a paintbrush, rake, or spatula, your gifts can be put to good use at Villa! We also have great opportunities for group projects for your team.

Plan a Local Excursion

Our guests love nothing better than seeing Atlanta and the surrounding area. Plan on going to the zoo? Consider taking some guests. Stone Mountain is a favorite, and day trips and festivals are always a memorable experience for our guests.
