Brief History
The West Ends Boys Club opened in 1968, but was soon renamed John H. Harland Boys Club in March of 1970, in honor of Mr. John H. Harland, who made substantial contributions for the building of a new facility and his devotion to his community. A decade later, the club began serving girls and thus became the John H. Harland Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta.

If you are sincerely interested in inspiring, motivating, and impacting young lives, then Boys & Girls Clubs is the place for you!

You will be notified once your background check is cleared and will then be scheduled for a club orientation before officially becoming a volunteer.
* We understand that some high schools require students to complete a minimum number of community service hours for graduation. We do offer some limited volunteer opportunities for students who are interested in performing their service with Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. For more information on these opportunities send a request to rreid@bgcma.org.
