NEWS BRIEF: ​​City of Atlanta partners with Urban League to create youth development program
Grant program funded by American Rescue Plan Act
Mayor Andre Dickens has announced a partnership with the Urban League of Greater Atlanta to create a Youth Development Grant program for local organizations that serve students in grades K-12. The city council approved $1,000,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funds for the Urban League “to provide students with several meaningful enrichment opportunities, remediate learning loss, increase pathways to opportunity and improve public safety,” a news release stated.
“There is no denying that investing in our youth from an early age builds a solid foundation for success and opportunity in the future,” Dickens said. “Thank you to our federal partners for their leadership in passing the ARP and thank you to the Urban League of Greater Atlanta for their partnership in ensuring no one is left behind as we move Atlanta forward.” Details: atlantaga.gov
