I am the Director of Children's Programming at a non profit downtown and Pebble Tossers volunteered at our big Back to School Bash. We handed out over 460 back packs to kids at the shelter and in the community and the event was a huge success. The Pebble Tossers have helped for two years in a row now and they are absolutely wonderful. The volunteers came in with a helpful and positive attitude and worked hard for the entire event. The even worked hard to help breakdown the even and clean when a few other volunteer groups had already left. I would highly recommend working with them. They are wonderful.

I had the opportunity to volunteer with Pebble Tossers to serve a holiday meal at a local senior home, and I can honestly say it was one of the most heartwarming and rewarding experiences I’ve had. From the moment I signed up, the volunteer process was incredibly organized. Communication was clear, instructions were thorough, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

What really stood out to me was the warmth and friendliness of the staff—not just those from the Pebble Tossers team, but also the team at the senior home. They made every volunteer feel welcome and appreciated, creating a positive and inclusive environment that made it easy to jump in and help.

Serving meals and spending time with the elders was such a meaningful way to give back. Their smiles and stories were unforgettable, and I left feeling uplifted and inspired. I look forward to volunteering again!

Volunteering with Pebble Tossers has been a rewarding and meaningful experience. One of my favorite projects was reading to cats at a local animal shelter. This simple act helped ease their anxiety, encouraged socialization, and supported their chances of adoption. It also gave me a deeper appreciation for the small but powerful ways we can support animal welfare.

My daughter works for Pebble Tossers; I love the name and the image it creates,the circle ever widening. I happened to volunteer one time with her at a senior living facility for a Thanksgiving dinner and there were a few volunteers from Pebble Tossers. They took amazing care of the seniors welcoming them, waiting on them, talking to them about their family, etc. I felt very proud of my daughter, working for a team like this one.

Last year my friend and I had the pleasure of doing makeup for teens and young adults for their special event with Covenant House. This experience was coordinated through Pebble Tossers, by way of Alysha A. It was such a wonderful experience overall. I truly enjoyed interacting with the youth and hearing all about their life stories. They were so full of life and joy! I was so happy to have spent my day with them. Overall, it was refreshing to hear about their life perspectives and what the event meant for them. I would do it again if the opportunity aligned with my schedule! Thanks, Pebble Tossers, for making everything possible!

I had a great time during my internships and the team was very welcoming and supportive! The cause of Pebble Tossers is very unique and being able to help out students and the community was a fulfilling experience.

I learned how to put others first before myself, and that's a trait important for non profit organizations. I was glad to turn my weakness into a strength over the 8-week internship period, and I hope to give back to the community in the future.

Our family has enjoyed our Pebble Tossers membership for several years! We appreciate all of the wonderful family friendly volunteer opportunities Pebble Tossers provides. These service projects allow us to not only give back through volunteering, but also to meet new people and to learn about the great work so many nonprofits and other organizations are doing in our community! It is a joy to see the positive things going on in Atlanta and the metro area, and Pebble Tossers amplifies those things!

Additionally, the Pebble Tossers Teen Leadership Program teaches great leadership skills and hands-on project management experience for young people--we are so thankful our daughter was able to participate in this program. Also, our children have been able to earn the President's Volunteer Service Award through Pebble Tossers, which is an official certifying organization. Reaching this goal has been wonderful, but of course the journey has been the most rewarding experience. We are grateful to have this fantastic service and leadership program in our community, and we highly recommend a family membership!

Not only does this organization partner with wonderful community programs, but they also provide leadership opportunities for middle and high school students, which is invaluable. My family and I have really enjoyed our time volunteering with them and look forward to participating in their activities for many years to come. Pebble Tossers has made finding agencies to volunteer with quick and easy. Additionally the volunteers and leaders are so friendly and helpful that everyone always feels welcome.

Pebble Tossers is the epitome of a youth nonprofit. Their mission of empowering youth to lead through service, is the true definition of leadership. What better way to build up the next generation than to teach them how to put the needs of others first, in a "me" culture! The youth involved at PT have the opportunity to help others their age develop and perform as highly as possible - all by showcasing a servant heart.

My daughter who is a part of the Pebble Tossers Teen Leadership program, got an opportunity to work on a project to help the refugees from Afghan. It was amazing to see the opportunity these kids get and the difference they can make in the world. They raised funds to provide the refugee families with items like kitchen utensils, towels, soaps, body wash, care packages, towels, school supplies and other hygiene products. They spoke to the refugee women and children and encouraged the children to enroll in school and to become a part of the student council. With the help of the translators they even tried to convince the women refugees to take English classes in order to improve their living conditions and find themselves a job and to have a better life. I love how Pebble Tossers lead and encourages the youth of our nation to build a better tomorrow.

We were introduced to the organization by friends when my daughter (who’s now in college) was in kindergarten. It’s AMAZING! We’ve volunteered with them for years! My children have volunteered with the elderly, moms in need, the homeless, they’ve help with forest management and clean-up - the list goes on and on! It’s built in them a love of serving their community.

They’ve enjoyed working with Pebble Tossers so much that they’ve all participated in their Teen Leadership Program, which trains them to be leaders in their community.

It is truly wonderful organization.

I have served on the Board of Directors for Pebble Tossers for five years. When my daughter was younger, we had trouble finding volunteer opportunities for someone so young. Pebble Tossers was able to provide quality opportunities for her to learn the value of service and helping those in your community.

I struggled to find opportunities for my young daughter to serve our community. She wasn't old enough for most projects and it was difficult to find volunteer opportunities that resonated with our family. Until I found Pebble Tossers.

Our family found Pebble Tossers in 2020. We were climbing the walls and looking for a safe way to do some good in our crazy upside-down world. A friend asked us to come with them to help cleanup a local park. We said yes and never looked back. Since this first volunteer effort, my teenagers have both become active participants in the Teen Leadership Program and the whole family loves taking part in the many volunteer opportunities presented. Our only regret is that we didn't discover this amazing group when our kids were small.

I interned with Pebble Tossers from January to April 2022 and was part of the Grant Writing and Development Team. The role taught me many valuable skills that will be useful in the future, but it also gave me a front row seat to observe how the organization thinks and works. Everyone puts their best effort forward in the projects they undertake. Pebble Tossers always considers how to serve their community, engage youths in volunteerism. They work diligently and deliberately to promote and train tomorrow's leaders to face pressing challenges.

Moreover, Pebble Tossers and its staff are honest, intentional, sincere, and consistently looking for ways to innovate and improve. If you are thinking about getting involved with them, I highly recommend it. As Pebble Tossers is an energetic, inclusive, family-friendly group that takes time to listen. They believe an individual’s impact leaves ripples and Pebble Tossers creates positive ones through service with and to others.

My family and I came to a Pebble Tossers activity afternoon to make dog blankets for shelter dogs, and thank you cards for veterans. Each project was well suited for my 7 and 9 year olds to feel like they were making a difference in the lives of others. They were able to use their creative energies and enjoy themselves while doing something very thoughtful for others. We have since been to many events. They are well run, creative, and wonderful opportunities to help the community and give of your time and talents through your own interests. Pebble Tossers also has a very user friendly website and are active on social media so I know if I have a couple hours I could venture to a program and work with them at the drop of a hat.

We have served two ministries through Pebble Tossers. Our family periodically assists with the Sunday breakfast sponsored by Agape Way.

We have also participated in activities with the seniors at A.G. Rhodes. We helped with playing bingo and passed out snacks. After the game was over it was simply nice to talk with the residents and get to know them.

They are an ongoing volunteer group with us, helping to maintain a public outdoor amenity. They are one of our most dedicated and consistent partners, and we can count on them to self-organize their own events and host other youth volunteer groups when we can't accommodate them.

I am writing to express the gratitude of the Big Trees Board for all hard work put forth by the Pebble Tossers volunteers. Big Trees is such a special place – a hidden gem to be sure. We cater to the intersection of nature and nurture, where a walk in the woods can truly calm the mind and sooth the spirit.

We are grateful to John Ripley Forbes, who created Big Trees for the express purpose of providing a passive nature preserve for the community. Mr. Forbes entered into a public private partnership with Fulton County to protect Big Trees from development. However, we are not a city park and therefore receive limited financial support from the city of Sandy Springs. That is why Pebble Tossers provides what we absolutely need the most….volunteers!

The fruit of your labors are everywhere……the entrance beds have been weeded and look fabulous. The lower trails have been mulched and groomed and look extraordinary. The split rail fence has been repaired and once again sets a charming tone. All of this took many, many hours and we so appreciate your efforts. Each and every volunteer makes a difference, and your cumulative contributions have done so much to make Big Trees shine. So on behalf of the Big Trees Board, and on behalf of all who come to enjoy Big Trees every day, we salute the mission and vision of Pebble Tossers, and thank you for being a big part of what keeps Big Trees beautiful and special!

I've had the pleasure of working with Jen (and her team) on some business development, brand strategy, and marketing+comms planning over these past few months. I have also served as a volunteer a couple of times through the Pebble Tossers organization. I could say an infinite number of great things about the organization, as well as Jen. Jen is an amazing leader who has started this organization with the full intention to reshape and redefine what youth development means within the nonprofit sector. Their mission focuses on youth development and creating a heart for service within youth. The way they do their work and their largely connected network of non-profit partners is unparalleled. Truly. Volunteering through the organization was a great (and very seamless) experience as well. I would recommend Pebble Tossers, and Jen, to anyone ... anywhere. It has been a privilege and honor to be a part of some very exciting new announcements and changes coming later this year!

I had a great experience with this organization. Every board member with whom I interacted with was very friendly and helpful to make my time served that much better. I helped with the set up of a charity event as well as completed an administrative spreadsheet to aid people with information on how and where to donate their unwanted items. I highly recommend this organization to anyone looking to volunteer and better the community.

Our family has been working with the Pebble Tossers Team for over four years and they are by far the best run and most compassionate group of people you will ever work with. As parents, we wanted our kids to grow up understanding that we all need to get involved in making our community a better place for everyone and what better way to do that than volunteering. Pebble Tossers always has fun family friendly ways for all of us to get involved and the kids always leave asking when we can volunteer again.

Pebble Tossers is one of my favorite non profits. They offer opportunities for kids to volunteer in the community. I've always loved volunteering but once I became a mom I had a hard time finding a place that I could volunteer with my daughter. I've worked with Jen and pebble tossers several times. They are wonderful communicators and all of our volunteer opportunities have been positive experiences for the kids, parents, and people we were serving. I'm so glad my daughter's teacher connected me to pebble tossers and I highly recommend working with them.

Our students at Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School have not been exposed to the idea of service to others like in most Catholic, college prep schools. Pebble Tossers generously donated their time and expertise to help us develop our first Service Day. As a Jesuit school we foster the idea of 'men and women for others'. We could not have done that without Jen Guynn and Pebble Tossers. This is a great resource for any school and I would highly recommend partnering with them!

Pebble Tossers made it so easy for me to help my 6 year old engage in service to others. They made arrangements for us to interact with senior citizens at an assisted living facility. My son and I were able to talk to the residents, help them make a patriotic craft, and serve them a snack of cookies and lemonade. The team from Pebble Tossers were amazing. They had all of the craft supplies and gave clear instructions for us. It was fantastic.

Pebble Tossers is a unique non profit organization that serves as a vital link between our communities that need assistance and support, to youth and their families that are looking for ways to give back to their communities. The organization has quickly grown in membership over a very short time, indicating a great demand in the Atlanta area for an avenue for volunteers to learn more about volunteer opportunities in their communities. What better way to show our youth how easy and effective it can be to give back to those around you.

Pebble Tossers is a great non- profit because there are only 2 fabulous women that run this organization. They spend hours of their own time filing the needs of the community. Also, the Pebble Tosser site makes finding a volunteer opportunity easy as well as a central place to "bank" your volunteer hours. The saying "is it is better to give than to receive"- pebble tossers shows the ripple effect from spending time in service helping others will hopefully continue the simple acts of kindness.
