The Atlanta, Georgia Chapter of American Pilgrims serves northern Georgia and is centered on Atlanta.
The purpose of local chapters is to keep participants connected to the Camino and to introduce new people to the phenomenon. We plan to accomplish this in a number of ways, such as social events, walks, mentoring future pilgrims and serving as a venue for hospitalero training through American Pilgrims.
- To offer opportunities for local pilgrims to gather and hold events related to the Camino.
- To mentor future pilgrims, promote the pilgrimage and American Pilgrims through social gatherings.
- To serve as a local host for hospitalero training in the Atlanta area.
Contact chapter coordinators Shauna Riely, BT Harman and Deborah (Debbie) Sleight via email for more information or to be added to the chapter email list.
