Bright Futures ATL

HUGE thanks to our partner @visiontolearn who came out today to deliver 👓 glasses to our students. We think they look great!

We are loving the new furniture at our Center! Check out these cool tables and desks! Making sure our kiddos have the best we can offer. #brightfuturesatlanta #TeachTrainTransform

Guess what! We had a new 🎉party system and lighting installed at youth center. It is so much fun! We cant wait to host parties and 🕺💃dances for the kids. #brightfuturesatlanta #TeachTrainTransform

Yesterday, during the final portion of our Entitlement Conference for the students, we hosted a town hall forum in the Chapel. Students were able to write down questions and ask teachers and staff questions about life. We had a very lively, transparent and in-depth conversation covering topics about finance, career choices, marriage, relationships and the importance of having a church home. Just another way we #TeachTrainTransform #BrightFuturesAtlanta

Today is the second day of our Entitlement Conference for the kids. It's a hands on approach to the Game of Life. Each student is assigned a job and income based on their grades and other factors. They participate in activities that simulate buying a home, paying utilities, grocery shopping, transportation and having families of their own. To add some variety we add Mayhem and Blessings which can impact their choices. We also have a jail for those that misbehave. It's an awesome experience.

Humbled by the students of Bright Futures ATL for taking the time to write these Thank You letters. I can honestly say that I learned more from you during our "Financial Literacy" sessions than the other way around. I hope you can use this knowledge to make a positive impact to your financial futures!
