Volunteering for a Decatur special event? Go paperless! Fill out a volunteer profile in our secure online system that you can access any time you sign up for an event. Your volunteer hours and events can be tracked through your profile, and the new system also allows you to receive email alerts and messages, check schedules and request the shifts you prefer.  

Our system streamlines the process for volunteers to sign up, make changes as needed, and keep up with a variety of times and dates. 

If you have questions or need help navigating through the system or if you have questions regarding community and nonprofit volunteer opportunities, email Sherry.Jackman@decaturga.com.
