From games and athletics
to drug prevention workshops, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta
offers young people a range of fun and productive activities. Clubs are
open each day after school from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. - when research has
shown children to be most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky
behaviors. In the summer, Clubs and special summer-only sites open their
doors all day to young people with nowhere else to go.
A trained, caring staff implements proven youth development strategies
and creates a stable, supportive environment for children and teens ages
six to 18. Specially designed programs concentrate on developing job readiness,
study skills, leadership, self-esteem, good health and social responsibility
among Boys & Girls Club members.
