Atlanta, with a population of 4.7 million people, is a dynamic and diverse city.  It is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement and home of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change.  It is also home to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.  Atlanta has a rich history of civic engagement and activism.  AHC members come to Atlanta from all over the country with diverse backgrounds and interests in public health, medicine, social work, international health, and education, but all are committed to making a difference in improving the health of underserved communities.

A lot of people have the desire to make a difference; all too often they just don’t know how to do it or where to start.  By becoming a part of the Atlanta Health Corps, members are provided with the tools and opportunities to begin making tangible and measurable differences in the community and they are given the resources and inspiration to continue a life of service long after their commitment to AmeriCorps has been fulfilled.
