Mission
BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF METRO ATLANTA'S (BGCMA) MISSION IS TO IGNITE THE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL OF KIDS AND TEENS BY CREATING SAFE, INCLUSIVE, AND ENGAGING ENVIRONMENTS. OUR VISION IS THOUSANDS OF YOUNG LEADERS THRIVING IN LIFE AND STRENGTHENING THE FUTURE OF THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THE WORLD. THROUGH 25 CLUBS IN 9 METRO COUNTIES, TRAINED AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF SERVE NEARLY 8,000 YOUTH (AGES 6-18) DAILY THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT HELP KIDS GET COLLEGE AND CAREER READY, LIVE HEALTHY LIVES, AND BECOME LEADERS. BGCMA ALSO OVERSEES CAMP KIWANIS, A 160-ACRE OUTDOOR RESIDENTIAL CAMP. IT COSTS OUR FAMILIES BETWEEN $85-$285 PER CHILD EACH YEAR BASED ON INCOME TO BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR CLUBS. YET IT COSTS US APPROXIMATELY $11,100 TO EFFECTIVELY SERVE EACH CHILD. NO CHILD IS TURNED AWAY DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT WWW.BGCMA.ORG.
