Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA) is a non-profit organization that serves young people across the metropolitan Atlanta area through after-school and summer youth development programs. Founded in 1938, the organization operates multiple clubs throughout Atlanta and its surrounding counties, providing safe spaces and structured activities for children and teens aged 6-18. BGCMA is an affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America and focuses on three primary program areas: Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Character & Leadership Development. The organization serves thousands of youth annually, with a particular emphasis on supporting children from underserved communities and at-risk environments. The organization operates approximately 25 clubs across 10 counties in the metro Atlanta region, each offering programs that include homework assistance, STEM education, arts and cultural activities, sports and recreation, and college and career readiness initiatives. BGCMA relies on a combination of private donations, corporate partnerships, government grants, and foundation support to fund its operations. The organization maintains partnerships with local schools, businesses, and community organizations to enhance its programming and reach. Professional staff and volunteers work together to deliver programs and services, with many locations operating during after-school hours and throughout the summer months when schools are closed.
