The Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta/Cobb Cluster - Afterschool Program
Programs Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta offers young people a range of fun and productive activities. Clubs are open each day after school from 2 to 8 p.m. Research has shown that during this time of day, children are most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky behaviors. We promise our kids that when they get out of school, our doors will be open to them, our staff will be there to guide them and our clubs will be filled with activities and programs dedicated to helping them develop positively. During the summer, Clubs and special summer-only sites open their doors all day to young people who may have nowhere else to go. A trained, caring staff implements proven youth development strategies and creates a stable, supportive and promising environment for children and teens ages six to 18. BGCMA knows with an education, good health and job skills, our Club members can accomplish their dreams. The Clubs provide diverse activities, that we call Core Programs, to meet the interests of all youth. These programs engage young people in activities with adults, peers and family members, enable them to develop self-esteem and provide them a solid platform to reach their full potential. The Core Programs developed and implemented in our Clubs are based on the physical, emotional, cultural and social needs and interests of the youth served. Six Core Program Areas: Character and Leadership Development Education and Career Development Health and Life Skills Arts & Cultural Enrichment Sports, Fitness and Recreation Outdoor Education
