Civic & Social Organization - Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Bright Futures Atlanta, founded in 2002, provides unique educational, social, and spiritual opportunities for adolescents and their families in the inner-city Atlanta. As a way to break the cycle of too-early parenthood, glorification of criminality, and criticism of academic achievement, year-round programming is offered in an environment conducive to learning, for the physical as well as spiritual growth of participants. BFAtl's mission is to promote the spiritual, academic and physical growth of its youth participants and their families through year-round programs. The organization's activities and guidance are aimed at instilling a passion for learning, resulting in lasting social change. We shall accomplish this through discipleship, using Christian-based character-building techniques, and through the educational curriculum at Bright Futures Academy.
