We can make our community a place where every kid has the ability to achieve their dreams, not just at FCS. Where every family has a safe place to call home. Where our school rallies around the future they want to see—and provides the resources to make it happen. Are you with us?
How we help
Right now, more than 500,000 kids across Greater Atlanta don’t have the basic necessities to thrive. Things like food, housing, and educational opportunities. And for 77,000 of those kids, conditions in their communities aren’t just bad—they’re getting worse. These issues take more than quick fixes.
To change the future, we envision communities with:
Healthy Starts
Secure Homes
Educational Success
Graduation & Beyond
Financial Stability
Empowered Adults
