Agape’s mission is to inspire and invest in children and families as they discover, embrace and achieve their full potential.
We achieve this through academic achievement, reading proficiency by third grade, high school graduation, and post-graduation placement.
The cycle of generational poverty is ended in communities we serve.
Agape has helped me with academics most of all. It has also helped me to become a better person. It has given me backpacks and produce. Agape has helped me to understand life in many ways and to appreciate what I have. My Agape counselors have taught me to appreciate, respect, and to be myself. Agape has always been there for me and always will. They have always taught me to have faith in myself no matter what.
We're not around right now. But you can send us an email and we'll get back to you, asap.

A space to rest, dream and grow. 💙💚 We are delighted to celebrate a transformation for brothers Dylan and Justin, who recently received a new bedroom through Agape's Extreme Bedroom Makeover program. The initiative reflects Agape's commitment to empowering families and building community through collaboration. None of this happens without our partners. Thank you to the Junior League of Atlanta and Rooms To Go for your time, your generosity and your belief in our families. Because of you, the brothers have a comfortable, functional space to rest, study and truly feel at home, with their favorite sports memorabilia and mementos close by. Swipe to see their reaction. 👉 The Extreme Bedroom Makeover instills a greater sense of independence and belonging for our students. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of families, and we invite you to join us in supporting these initiatives!

Thank you, Congresswoman Lucy McBath, for sharing your time, wisdom, and continued commitment to Atlanta's communities.

Some people leave a legacy. Others leave a vision that continues to grow, inspire and change lives long after they are gone. For Agape Youth & Family Center, that person is Rev. Dr. Joanna M. Adams. While serving as senior pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Joanna had a simple but powerful idea: if the church wanted to make a difference in the community, its members needed to do more than write checks. They needed to show up, build relationships and serve. Joanna looked beyond the walls of Trinity and toward the nearby Bolton Road community, where she saw an opportunity to connect members of the congregation directly with children, families and senior citizens. Her vision brought together members of Trinity and other faith and community organizations, and Agape was born In 1997, we began as a one-day-a-week after-school program serving 25 children, along with a program for senior citizens. During Agape's Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in 2018, CEO Nell Benn reflected on those humble beginnings: “When Trinity set down their roots in 1997 in the Bolton Road Community, they had one goal in mind: to end the cycle of generational poverty.” That purpose has guided Agape for nearly three decades. Joanna understood something that remains at the heart of our work today: investing in one child can change the trajectory of generations. Joanna didn’t simply envision Agape and walk away. She remained deeply connected to the organization, serving on Agape's Advisory Council and continuing to champion the work as the small outreach ministry she imagined grew into a community center serving hundreds of children, families and senior citizens. Each time we enter Agape's building, the Joanna M. Adams Building, a 35,000 square foot facility, we are reminded of where it all began—with a woman who believed faith should be put into action and that lives could change when a community was willing to show up for one another. Agape would not be here today without Joanna and we will be eternally grateful for Joanna's life. We will continue to carry that vision forward—one child, one family, and one community at a time.

Summer Camp continues with the fun excursions with @julies.dream ! The adventure was unforgettable—but the growth was even greater. 🌄💙 This summer, our rising 6th and 7th graders embarked on their first overnight adventure with Julie’s Dream! From hiking the breathtaking #TallulahGorge and soaring through the trees on a zip line to learning the basics of whitewater rafting on the #ChattoogaRiver, students stepped outside their comfort zones and discovered new confidence. Along the way, daily devotionals reminded them that God is their source of light, guidance, and truth—lessons that will stay with them long after the trip ended. Thank you to Julie's Dream and everyone who makes life-changing experiences like this possible for our students. Together, we're helping students grow in courage, faith, and character. 💙 #AgapeATL #JuliesDream #SummerAdventure #YouthDevelopment #GrowingLeaders #FaithInAction

For many students, one of the most exciting parts of returning to school is showing up with a new outfit. It's about more than clothing—it's about confidence, dignity, and feeling like they belong alongside their classmates. That's why Agape provides Old Navy Gift Cards to over 225 students during the Back 2 School Bonanza. With each $150 donation, we are able to outfit a student with clothing for school. Your gift allows our families to breathe a little easier, helping them avoid making an impossible financial choice of paying for a utility bill or purchasing school clothes. Your support helps ensure our students have clothes they are proud to wear on the first day of school and throughout the year. Will you donate $150 today? Thank you for helping our students look and feel their best. https://agapeatlanta.org/back-2-school-bonanza-donor-page/?form=FUNFCQKFPYE

Special thanks to our Summer 2026 Interns who are bringing special attention and dedication to keeping our staff, programs and fundraising efforts going strong this summer! Here is what a few of them had to say: Ryan Liu: "I have always had a strong connection to Agape and its community. I have loved being part of the Agape Teen Leader cohort for the past 3 years. However, during the school year, I feel like my commitment to Agape has been limited due to schoolwork, extracurriculars, and especially my athletic commitments. However, since none of those are really present during summer, I thought it would be a great opportunity to further connect myself with the Agape community while I had the chance." Hope Freeman: "I have been volunteering at Agape for 5 years, 3 of which I participated in Agape Teen Leads. Throughout my life Agape has alway been where I have devoted most of my service and volunteer work. Whether it was raising money, tutoring, or serving meals, I have always enjoyed the work I do for Agape and wanted to continue the work over the summer in a new way." Elizabeth Harman: "I chose to intern with Agape because I believe in its mission to provide the crucial support underserved families need to thrive, and I want to learn more about how curriculums for the Agape students are developed and implemented so that I may be able to apply the skills and knowledge to the creation of my own learning opportunities for these students." #agapeatlanta #agapesummer2026interns

This fall, Gael begins his senior year—a year filled with big dreams, graduation plans, college applications, and exciting new opportunities. But for many families, the excitement of a new school year also brings financial stress. School supplies. New clothes. Shoes. Senior expenses. Household bills. Through Agape's Back 2 School Bonanza, students like Gabe receive the essentials they need to begin the school year with confidence—allowing them to focus on their future instead of financial hardship. Every student deserves to walk into school prepared, confident, and ready to succeed. 🎒 Sponsor a student today and help hundreds of local students start the year strong. #Back2SchoolBonanza #StartStrong #AgapeATL #SupportStudents #EducationMatters #AtlantaNonprofit
