Since 1996, the Cherokee County Boys & Girls Club has been in the forefront of youth development working with young people from economically disadvantaged, social, and family circumstances. Our club has actively sought to enrich the lives of boys and girls whom other youth agencies have not reached. We are dedicated to ensuring that our community’s of disadvantaged young people have greater access to quality programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape their futures as productive citizens. In 2007, the Club was moved from a school basement to a brand, new facility. The Club was named after Malon D. Mimms, owner of the Malon D. Mimms Company, in recognition of his great contributions to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta, as well as his positive endeavors and support in many local communities. His generous contributions have enabled BGCMA to serve more kids and enhance its child development services in Cherokee County. The new Club has more space for programs, activities, recreational and educational areas as well as offices for staff members.

If you are a young professional, we encourage you to get involved in Club Blue, which is always accepting new members. Club Blue is Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta's young professional group and is volunteer based. We volunteer our time and expertise to give back to the Clubs through a variety of service activities. We engage in fun networking socials and special events that ultimately benefit local children who are most in need of our help. Essentially, we party with a purpose to help change lives. Learn more about Club Blue and how to become involved.
