East Atlanta Kids Club is a nonprofit mentoring and enrichment program for children ages 7 to 17 who live in East Atlanta, a rapidly growing intown neighborhood. Founded in 1998 by neighborhood volunteers, the program now engages about 115 children and 150 adult volunteers on a year-round basis in recreational, cultural and educational activities. The club currently meets on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (4:30 to 6:30 pm) and on Saturday mornings (10:30 am to 12:30 pm) at Brownwood Park Recreation Center, at 602 Brownwood Avenue (click for map). We do art and writing projects, learn computer and multimedia skills, learn about history and current events, and play a variety of games inside the center. Outside, we play basketball, kickball, tennis, and engage in other fun team-building activities. Once or twice a month, the club goes on field trips to museums, theaters, nature parks, and other recreational and cultural venues. We also have a one-on-one mentoring program, The Friendship Connection.Each spring, EAKC hosts the Brownwood Bike Rally, a fun day of bike races and cycling activities for children and adults. EAKC is a non-profit, charitable organization with federal tax-exempt status. Membership in the club is free.
