Core Program AreasClubs are open each day after school from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. – research has shown that during this time of day, children are most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky behaviors. We promise our kids that when they get out of school, our doors will be open to them, our staff will be there to guide them and our clubs will be filled with activity and programs dedicated to helping them positively develop. A trained, caring staff implements proven youth development strategies and creates a stable, supportive and promising environment for children and teens ages six to 18. The Core Programs developed and implemented in our Clubs are based on the physical, emotional, cultural and social needs and interests of the youth served. Six Core Program Areas: • Character and Leadership Development • Education and Career Development • Health and Life Skills • Arts & Cultural Enrichment • Sports, Fitness and Recreation • Outdoor Education
Make a Promise Today!Each day, our doors open to children who are looking for hope, opportunity, and most importantly, Promise. We promise to mold and shape these young people into becoming whatever it is that they dream they can become. Each year, over 17,000 children in Metro Atlanta call the Boys & Girls Clubs their positive place, giving them the tools that they need to perform well at school, as well as, offer those essential health and physical education programs to keep them performing well in life. In a world that is complex, and sometimes dangerous, it is comforting to know that generations of American kids have found a better life and a brighter future thanks to an empowering, inspiring resource right in their neighborhood. Promises shared, Promises kept. We have a promise to make to our children, and we hope that you as citizens will help. Please consider a gift and Make the Promise to our kids.
