Community Testimonials

In 2018, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta, Inc. began construction on the first-ever arts and innovation-focused Club in the nation. As a major investment for kids in Atlanta’s West End, the new Club has been an opportunity for economically disadvantaged kids to learn critical skills, find and nurture their passion, and showcase and perform their work. The New Markets Tax Credit, supported tearing down a 50 year-old building that had fallen into disrepair and constructing a bigger and better facility in it’s place.
