If you are interested in in the program for a loved one or just need additional information about the program itself, call Janet at 770-979-9676, ext. 232 or e-mail her at Janet Johnson. A pre-participation interview is required.
In addition to the directors, this program would not be possible without the participation of a dedicated group of volunteers. Some volunteers spend only an hour or so a week helping out while others may volunteer for the entire day's activities.
Calvin Cove is a dynamic ministry; and, as it grows, additional volunteers are always needed. Janet works with each volunteer's schedule and provides training so that each volunteer can confidently work with the participants. Calvin Cove is a wonderfully fulfilling ministry and the volunteers can testify to the satisfaction they receive working with the attendees, their caregivers and the other volunteers.
Here are some photos taken at Calvin Cove that show the volunteers interacting with the participants:
