About Our Chapter
At Chicktime, our volunteers help young women who’ve faced adversity rediscover hope and
purpose. Life’s hardships can make people lose sight of their potential, but we remind them that
better days are ahead and that their past does not define their future.
We welcome women from all walks of life to volunteer with us and help encourage girls to be
their best, strongest selves. Together, we can remind them that they are valued, loved, and
capable of achieving great things.
Many of us know what it’s like to grow up feeling unworthy or defeated. We can’t change what’s
happened, but we can encourage these girls to see their challenges as steppingstones to
something greater. As Nora Ephron once said, “Be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”
Through monthly workshops at Elks Aidmore, we show up consistently, listen, and celebrate
progress—no matter how small. Our volunteers share their own stories of perseverance, giving
the girls hope, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
I joined Chicktime because I love encouraging the next generation to be strong, positive, and
resilient. God helped me through my storms, and I want to help others through theirs. Like Erma
Bombeck said, “I hope to use everything God gave me.”
We’d love for you to join us in bringing love and joy to these amazing young ladies. To get

Our History:
Heather Bowman began her journey with Chicktime Conyers serving on the leadership team alongside the chapter’s founder, Chari. When Chari moved out of state, Heather was ready and willing to step into the Managing Leader role — a role she embraced with passion and grace.
Under Heather’s leadership, she built a strong and dedicated team that showed up faithfully and wholeheartedly for the girls at Elks Children’s Home. Heather’s compassionate heart and personal understanding of the trauma many of the girls have faced brought a special depth to every monthly gathering. She cultivated an atmosphere of love, encouragement, and hope — leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire the chapter for years to come.
As Heather passes the baton to one of her co-leaders to become the new Managing Leader, we are deeply grateful that she will continue to serve on the leadership team.
We will forever be thankful for who Heather is — her kindness, her leadership, and her unwavering commitment to the mission of Chicktime Conyers!
Conyers Chicktime was founded in 2017 by Chari Anderson with a vision to provide an avenue where women can come together and make a difference in their local community. It was Chari’s hope to connect with the youth on a regular basis which is essential to build rapport and trust. Her goal was to create an atmosphere full of happiness, joy, and camaraderie through service. The beauty of giving with the purpose of making a difference in the lives of youth is a gift to be treasured. Chari believed it is truly a blessing to take part in experiencing the joy of watching young people come alive when they are given the chance to learn and share with women who genuinely care about their physical as well as emotional well-being. When we do our part in service there is no limit to the lasting impact that can be made in the lives of young people as well as in our own.
