Company Overview

East Atlanta Kids Club is a nonprofit mentoring and enrichment program for disadvantaged children ages 7 to 15 who live in and near East Atlanta, a diverse intown neighborhood. Founded in 1998 by neighborhood volunteers, the kids club is a free after-school program that engages about 115 children and 150 adult volunteers throughout the year in a rich variety of recreational, cultural and educational activities.

Adult volunteers and kids work together on art and writing projects, computer and multimedia activities, self-esteem-building, communication and business skills, cooking projects, games and other fun activities at our meeting site, Brownwood Park Recreation Center. Outside in the park, we play basketball, kickball, tennis, and engage in other fun team-building activities. We also have a spring and summer cycling program, culminating in a June bike rally open to the entire community. About twice a month, the club goes on field trips to nature parks, festivals, performing arts venues and other recreational and cultural venues. We also participate in quarterly community service projects.

EAKC also has a one-on-one mentoring program, The Friendship Connection, where adults can form a special relationship with an individual child.

East Atlanta Kids Club is a non-profit, charitable organization with federal tax-exempt status. We are an equal opportunity employer, and seek to maintain a staff and board of directors that reflects the diversity of the youth and the community we serve.
