OUR PROGRAMMING
Youth Development and
Leadership
At the AJ Terrell Foundation, we are committed to
enriching the educational and athletic experiences of
Atlanta's youth through strategic partnerships that
enhance support in schools and extracurricular
activities. We have collaborated with the AthLife
Foundation, a leader in promoting the academic
athletic coach as a professional role in schools, to
sponsor two academic coaches in high schools
within Atlanta.
Our goal is to increase this number,
helping students learn to navigate not just sports but
also the broader challenges of life. Additionally, our
partnership with Camp HBCYouth allows us to
contribute to the operational costs and program
funding, helping to ensure that young people have
access to enriching summer experiences on HBCU
campuses.
The foundation is also committed to
supporting access to quality athletic equipment,
enhancing sports programs and facilitating robust
athletic development.
Community Support and
Empowerment
The Community Support and Empowerment
theme at the AJ Terrell Foundation reflects our
deep commitment to enhancing the resilience of communities facing diverse challenges, including homelessness and economic hardship.
Recognizing the importance of both supporting and initiating campaigns, our foundation actively contributes to and develops programs that provide essential resources to under-resourced families. We collaborate closely with local actors
and community organizations who are on the front lines, aiming to amplify their efforts with our support and to introduce innovative solutions tailored to meet community needs. This dual approach of supporting existing initiatives and creating new ones ensures that our contributions are both impactful and tailored to the dynamic needs of the communities we serve.
Strategic Alignment With Global Goals
Our efforts align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on Quality Education, Good Health and Well-being, and Reduced Inequalities.
These
goals guide our focused outreach and commitment to enhancing program effectiveness and pursuing sustainable growth.
