Mission

For more than 70 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA) has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social, and family circumstances. Since 1938, we have provided children with a positive place to go, results-oriented programming and a professional staff to guide them. BGCMA enriches the lives of girls and boys that other youth agencies fail to reach. BGCMA is dedicated to ensuring that our community's young people, who are most in need of our help, have greater access to quality programs and services that provide promise, hope and opportunities to ensure that they may become productive adults. We operate 30 Clubs in 13 metro counties in addition to Camp Kiwanis and Youth Art Connection, an art gallery and workspace for young people in downtown Atlanta.
