Michelle Rice, Volunteer
I’ll never forget the first little boy I met. He had a book about dogs and I had two dogs at home, so we immediately connected. He seemed so happy to have somebody paying attention to him. That boy is a teenager now and he’s growing into a funny, caring and responsible adult, just like so many of the other kids I’ve met at Kids Club. I’m really proud to have them as my friends.

Ann Evangelista, Volunteer & Past Board Chair
Involvement with EAKC has been a cornerstone of my life in Atlanta. I learned about EAKC within a year of moving to East Atlanta. The mission of the organization was compelling, and then meeting Jill and (former Board Chair) Melinda Moseley confirmed my conviction that this was the place for me. While their passion and enthusiasm were contagious, it was meeting the youth that captivated my heart. The spirit and commitment that these children demonstrate, often despite challenging personal circumstances, gives me hope that EAKC is truly building great future citizens for Atlanta. I look forward to continuing a wonderful relationship with EAKC for years to come.
