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 26 CLUBS IN 10 METRO COUNTIES, TRAINED AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF SERVE NEARLY 8,000 YOUTH (AGES 6-18) THROUGH YEAR-ROUND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING. BGCMA PROVIDES PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT, CHARACTER AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. BGCMA ALSO OVERSEES CAMP KIWANIS, A 160-ACRE OUTDOOR RESIDENCE CAMP. IT COSTS OUR FAMILIES BETWEEN $85-$285 PER CHILD EACH YEAR, BASED ON INCOME TO BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR CLUBS. NO CHILD IS TURNED AWAY DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY. BGCMA REMAINS COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT EVERY YOUNG PERSON, REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE, HAS ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES THAT ENABLE THEM TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND CONTRIBUTE TO STRONGER FAMILIES AND COMMUN
