Building a promising future for the children of southeast Atlanta
Building a promising future for the children of southeast Atlanta
Through the consistent support of caring adults, our youth can realize their full potential and create new possibilities for themselves, their families, and our beloved community.
The Challenge
UNMET DEMAND
For every child in an afterschool program, two are waiting to get in, with 238,265 children alone and unsupervised after school in Georgia alone
INCREASING OPPORTUNITY GAP
The “Summer Slide” suggests that students typically experience one month of learning loss over summer break, with low-income students generally more affected
ECONOMIC INEQUITY
The highest-income families spend almost seven times more on enrichment activities for their children
East Atlanta Kids Club creates year-round out-of-school-time learning for youth placed at-risk by partnering with leading providers and tapping into our staff’s talent and passion for youth development to provide a space where youth can nurture their interests, discover new possibilities, and remain active and engaged to ensure their mental and physical wellness.
We achieve this through
S.T.E.A.M.-Based Programming
Coding, A/V production, robotics, gardening, food science, and more are delivered through afterschool and summer camp programming
Fitness & Fun
Movement and healthy activity is delivered through a variety of recreational opportunities, including cycling, dance, rugby, basketball, soccer, tennis, and more
Experiential Learning
Field trips, guest speakers, and mentors guide youth through the possibilities of higher education attainment, STEM career pathways, entrepreneurship, and service-based learning
