Get Involved
SafeD Athens is powered entirely by volunteers who care about improving safety and security in the UGA and Athens communities.
Whether you are an Athens resident, UGA parent, student, alumnus, community member, or simply someone who shares our mission, there are many ways to get involved.
Our volunteers help with research, communications, social media, community outreach, events, advocacy, administrative support, and developing ideas for safety initiatives.
You do not need to live in Athens to make a difference!
If you share our commitment to enhancing safety and security for students, residents, businesses, visitors, and the broader Athens community, we would love to hear from you.
Volunteer today and help us build a safer Athens!
