This was our first ever Gala hosted at our Corners Outreach Community Center in Gwinnett! One of our favorite moments, was when our choir performed. They gave an incredible performance of Blue Skies and J’entends le Moulin, and you could see just how proud and excited they were to share what they had been learning. It was so special watching our students use their gifts, step into the spotlight, and share their hard work with a room full of people cheering them on. We were so proud of them and so grateful our Gala guests got to experience a little bit of the joy, talent, and community that makes Corners so special. 🎶

Behind every life changed is a community of people who believe that change is not only possible, but deserved. Today, we want to recognize and celebrate our wonderful Silver Sponsors who helped make those life-changing opportunities possible. Your investment in our families is opening doors to opportunities that can shape futures for generations to come. It means children have access to education and experiences that help them discover their potential, parents have the support and resources to pursue new possibilities, and families have a community walking alongside them as they work toward a brighter, more stable future. Your generosity reaches far beyond the gala. Thank you to our incredible Silver Sponsors for walking alongside us! 💚

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for every person who made this year's gala possible. Today, we'd like to highlight our incredible Bronze Sponsors! Your generosity doesn't just make one day possible. Your generosity reminds our families that they have a community walking alongside them, as they build a brighter future for themselves and generations to come. Thank you @axis.companies @cfajcb @perimeteratl and Meco of Atlanta for believing in our families, believing in the work, and continuing to show up for Corners Outreach. We are so grateful to have you as part of our community. 💚

A little glimpse into a night Rooted in Community. 🤎 From the decor to the stories we shared, every detail expressed our deepest gratitude for our families, students, and supporters who make up one incredible community. Our Rooted in Community Gala was a celebration of what happens when we come together. We can't wait to share more from this special evening. For now, here's a little sneak peek! ✨

Meet Brielle ✨ When she first joined Corners, Brielle had a hard time adjusting to new routines, following schedules, and transitioning between activities. These changes were not always easy for her or her teacher, but with patience, guidance, and encouragement, Brielle has been making wonderful progress! Five weeks later, we are celebrating her growth! Brielle is discovering new ways to challenge herself, build confidence, and embrace new experiences. Today, Brielle is participating in soccer and our chorus class, exploring her interests while developing teamwork, creativity, and a sense of belonging. One of the most exciting highlights was her participation in the Hispanic Heritage Celebration in Dunwoody, where she proudly wore a traditional Mexican outfit! Seeing her embrace this special moment reminds us that growth happens in many ways: through learning, cultural pride, new experiences, and the courage to step outside our comfort zones. We can't wait to see how Brielle keeps growing and challenging herself! 💪🏽💙

🌟 Meet Alexa! Alexa joined Corners Academy this year and is currently a sophomore. Like many students her age, she’s still exploring what her future might look like and deciding whether college is the right path for her. Through our internship program, Alexa is discovering how she can combine her interests in social media, photography, and sports into a potential career in digital media! ⚽ Sometimes, the first step toward a career isn’t having all the answers. It’s having the opportunity to explore, ask questions, and discover what’s possible. At Corners Outreach, we’re helping students explore. 💙

Meet Joseph 💛 Joseph has been part of the Corners Outreach family for several summers, and this year, he joined our After School program! He loves spending time with friends, getting help with homework, and seeing his friend, Karla, who also happens to be our Assistant Program Director! 😊 Joseph may be a little shy, but his responsibility and growth shine through. We’re so happy Corners is a place where he feels welcomed, supported, and excited to learn. 💫

⚽ Meet Amy, one of the youngest players in our U6 division! Amy brings so much enthusiasm to every practice and game. She loves soccer so much that she often asks her mom to come watch her play, dreaming of one day playing in big stadiums! Through our Soccer & Mentoring Program, we’re doing more than teaching soccer skills. We’re creating a space where children build confidence, discover their passions, and learn that their dreams matter. 💙

As we bring our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration to a close at Corners Outreach Academy Gwinnett, we are so happy that our students enjoyed so many meaningful moments filled with culture, pride, and connection! From coloring flags representing Latin American countries to enjoying horchata, Mexican bread, and traditional candies, our students celebrated the beautiful cultures and traditions that make our community special! 🇲🇽🌎 At Corners, we believe that our culture is a gift, our language is a strength, and our identity is something to celebrate with confidence. Our team makes sure that every one of our students is reminded of that this month and every day of the year. 💛

❤️ Lester and Flor are proof that small steps can lead to big changes! Through our English program, they’ve strengthened their skills, advanced to the next level, and both secured higher-paying jobs. But they’re not stopping there! They’ve returned for another semester, Flor has joined our Financial Literacy program, and they even brought friends to Industry Night so they could grow together. When determination meets opportunity, amazing things happen. We can’t wait to see what’s next for Lester and Flor!

A huge shoutout to @molnlyckehealthcare for hosting a snack drive for Corners Academy! 💙 Our students go through hundreds of snacks every day, helping them stay fueled, focused, and ready to learn. Thanks to partners like Mölnlycke Healthcare and their dedicated employees, we can continue creating a supportive environment where our students feel cared for and ready to succeed. Thank you, Mölnlycke, for showing up for our students and investing in our community! We’re so grateful to have you alongside us. 🙌

Last week, we had our Zumba class with @lcf_georgia and our moms had a blast moving their bodies 💃 They also got the chance to do some medical tests and enjoy a green smoothie 😋 Taking care of our health is an act of love and it allows us to show up the best version of ourselves! Shout out to every mom that showed up ready to be active, learn and take care of herself! ✨

Shout out to @hypeghcc for coming out to volunteer last Saturday!! From cleaning out closets to helping our administrative staff to helping our Soccer League run smoothly, we are so grateful for your time and dedication to the community! 💪🏽 Thank you for being leaders and showing up (even on Saturdays) to serve our community! 💙

Este año, nos hemos enfocado en ayudar a nuestros estudiantes de preparatoria a prepararse para la vida después de la graduación, presentándoles una variedad de industrias, carreras y oportunidades. Durante las últimas dos semanas, Corners Studio a traves de nuestras Mujeres Imparables han estado trabajando directamente con nuestros estudiantes de preparatoria para enseñarles técnicas de sublimación y UVDTF, brindándoles habilidades prácticas que podrán usar en el trabajo, en futuras carreras o incluso para emprender su propio negocio. Nos entusiasma ver a nuestros estudiantes explorando nuevas posibilidades y descubriendo de lo que son capaces. ¡Y esto es solo el comienzo! 💪✨ #BetterTogether #community #makeadifference

I spy with my little eye… our kiddos having a great time exploring nature last week! They got to see first hand that nature is art! 🌼🌿🍂 We love to see our kids have so much joy as they are learning and growing ✨

Yesterday, our Corners Outreach team spent the day cooking and serving the team at Southeast Toyota Distributors! We are so grateful for everything they do for us and we wanted to express that gratitude by serving every one of their team members a delicious lunch 😋 It was such a fun day spent with our friends at @jmfamilyenterprises and Southeast Toyota Distributors! We are indeed, Better together!

Este semestre Stephany tiene una gran meta por lo cual está muy emocionada 🤩 📚

This is what Paola our Women's Empowerment director is excited about this fall! 🍂🍁

This past Sunday, Corners Outreach was honored to participate in the 6th Annual Latino Hispanic Cultural Celebration, a day filled with music, dancing, traditional clothing, and so much pride in the many countries and cultures represented. Our Choir students from Corners Academy performed a beautiful concert, singing “Vivir Mi Vida” and “De Colores.” For many of our students, it was their first time performing or even singing in Spanish. Music Director Jeniffer Chow was immensely proud to see her students participate and share what they had learned, sharing, “It was a reminder that music can bring people together across different ages and backgrounds.” Even our moms and women in Mujeres Imparables participated by taking part in a fashion show, celebrating their heritage with pride. For Corners Academy Director Pilar Garcia, one of the most memorable moments was watching woman after woman and girl after girl walk across the stage, proudly representing their home countries with excitement and love for one another. This year's Hispanic Heritage Month theme is “Unidos, Somos Más.” At Corners Outreach, we truly believe that. When we come together, honoring our differences while celebrating what connects us, our whole community becomes stronger. Unidos somos más. Better together. Photos By: @boonvongphotos

Let us reintroduce our team ✨ We are SO grateful for the incredible team that makes it happen every day! Every single person is dedicated to helping families overcome poverty and build brighter futures! Our families and community partners are able to find a home at Corners because every person in our team is dedicated to building a community that loves and celebrates who we are, where we come from and where we are going! Here's to a great year ahead with a great team ❤️

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the hardworking families who keep our communities moving forward. Every day, our families show up to work in the industries that power our economy, feed our families and build our cities. And when the workday ends, the work doesn’t stop. They’re helping their children with homework. Learning new skills. Working toward a GED. Pursuing better jobs. Showing up for their families. And taking steps, day by day, toward a brighter future. We’re honored to walk alongside families as they work toward greater stability, economic opportunity, and a brighter future for themselves and the generations to come. Happy Labor Day! 💙

Check out what Zayra, our Co- Middle School and High School Director, is most excited about this fall 🍂🎃

The new school year has officially started and our Gwinnett Academy Director can’t wait to see how our students grow ✨

We’re officially starting our 15th year of afterschool programming!🎉 It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. What started with volunteers gathering in apartment complexes to tutor students has grown into a dedicated team of staff, educators, mentors, and community partners all working toward one goal: helping kids thrive. 💙 We want to take this moment to thank EVERYONE who has helped us get here, every volunteer, every parent, every teacher, every school admin, every staff member, every donor, every community partner. THANK YOU. Year 15, here we come!

Corners Academy starts next week! 😮🥳 Music Director, Jeniffer Chow is excited for this fall semester to start… check out why!!

We are so excited for our fall soccer season to start! Check out what our Soccer Director, Cesar has to say ⚽️⚽️

10 years. 💙 “I’ve been with Corners for 10 years.” From Program Director to Vice President, Cinthia’s journey is a beautiful reminder that purpose, compassion, and servant leadership can change lives. Having once walked in the same shoes as many of the families we serve, she has never stopped showing up with empathy, hope, and a heart to help others grow. Today, she helps lead our mission of equipping students and families to thrive through education and opportunity, proving that when you invest in people, entire communities are transformed. Happy 10-year anniversary, Cinthia! Thank you for loving our families and living our mission every single day. Join us in congratulating her on this incredible milestone! 🎉👇 #BetterTogether #CornersOutreach #10Years #ServantLeadership #CommunityImpact

A huge shoutout to @assuranceamerica for volunteering with us this week at Empowerment Day and at our Corners Outreach DeKalb Academy! 💙 Words can’t fully express how grateful we are for community partners who show up, serve alongside us, and invest in the families we have the privilege of walking alongside. We truly could not do this work alone. Thank you, Assurance America, for being part of our community and helping families build brighter futures! 🙌 How would they describe Corners Outreach?

Meet Jose Nieto Sr.! 💙 Jose first connected with Corners through his son, one of our incredible high school students. As his son became more involved in our programs and community, Jose began showing up too, becoming part of the Corners community himself. After attending several of our Industry Nights, Jose expressed interested in an opportunity with one of our employment partners, Southeast Toyota Distributors. Although he was a little older than the typical candidate, he was hired and within just two months, he moved into a full-time position with benefits, PTO, and a pay raise. 💪🏽 But this story is about more than a new job... career growth for one parent can create new possibilities for an ENTIRE family. Jose’s son can continue focusing on his future, and we know it’s a bright one! He has served as a lead assistant to teachers, as a soccer mentor and referee, and even interned with Corners Roasters. His journey with Corners started long before his dad found his next career opportunity. And now, we get to watch that impact continue to grow across the Nieto family. ✨

Yesterday, we celebrated a new chapter for our dear Jenny. And what a beautiful full-circle moment this is. Jenny first came to Corners as a 4th and 5th grader. Years later, she returned as part of the team, helping create for other students the same sense of belonging and opportunity that Corners once gave her.🫶🏼 Corners became more than a program to Jenny. It became a second home, a place where she found her way, discovered where she belonged, and grew into the woman she is today. Now, she’s heading off to college and stepping into an exciting new chapter. We will miss her deeply, but we couldn’t be more proud of her and all that is ahead. Once a Corners kid. Always part of the Corners family. Her story is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do: creating opportunities that help students learn, grow, and thrive. 💙🤍 Ayer celebramos un nuevo capítulo para nuestra querida Jenny. Y qué hermoso momento es este. Jenny llegó a Corners primero como una niña de 4to y 5to grado. Años después, regresó como parte del equipo, ayudando a crear para otros estudiantes ese mismo sentido de pertenencia y oportunidad que un día Corners le brindó a ella. Corners se convirtió en mucho más que un programa para Jenny. Se convirtió en un segundo hogar: un lugar donde encontró su camino, descubrió dónde pertenecía y creció hasta convertirse en la mujer que es hoy.🫶🏼 Ahora, Jenny se prepara para ir a la universidad y comenzar un nuevo y emocionante capítulo. La vamos a extrañar muchísimo, pero estamos profundamente orgullosos de ella y de todo lo que le espera. Ella siempre será parte de la familia Corners. Su historia nos recuerda por qué hacemos lo que hacemos: crear oportunidades para que los estudiantes aprendan, crezcan y prosperen. #CommunityImpact #community #atlanta #makeadifference

Our team had such a great time meeting families at the school open houses in Gwinnett and DeKalb!!

Today we had the privilege of welcoming the incredible staff of Lilburn Middle School to Corners Outreach and sharing the heart behind everything we do.💙 From academic support and workforce development to women's empowerment, early learning, music, and so much more, every space in our building exists to create opportunities, strengthen families, and transform lives. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and to partner with educators who are making a difference every single day. Most importantly, none of this would be possible without our amazing team. Every tour, every conversation, every program, and every success is the result of people who faithfully serve with passion and purpose. We are better because of you! 💙 Hoy tuvimos el privilegio de recibir al increíble equipo de Lilburn Middle School en Corners Outreach y de compartir el corazón detrás de todo lo que hacemos. Desde el apoyo académico hasta el desarrollo laboral, el empoderamiento de la mujer, la educación temprana, la música y mucho más, cada espacio de nuestro edificio fue diseñado para crear oportunidades, fortalecer familias y transformar vidas. Estamos profundamente agradecidos por la oportunidad de servir a nuestra comunidad y de colaborar con educadores que impactan vidas todos los días. Pero, sobre todo, nada de esto sería posible sin nuestro extraordinario equipo. Cada recorrido, cada conversación, cada programa y cada logro son el resultado de personas que sirven con pasión y propósito. ¡Gracias por hacer posible esta misión! @lilburnmiddle

Meet one of our little learners 💙 When Abby first joined our program, she was shy and struggled to connect with other children. Today, she's communicating with confidence, joining activities, discovering a love for dancing, and growing more independent every day. Her journey is a reminder that with encouragement, patience, and a caring community, every child can thrive. 🌟

Meet two brothers whose love of learning and kindness inspires everyone around them.💙 Eliezer and Abdiel have been part of the Corners Outreach family for the past year, and their journey has been marked by curiosity, kindness, and an incredible bond as brothers. They show up eager to learn, ready to participate, and always looking out for one another — especially Abdiel, who never misses a chance to check in on his big brother throughout the day. It's a joy to watch them grow not only as students, but as compassionate young men who encourage those around them. ✨

This summer, our Camp Counselors in Training (CCIT) showed up with energy, leadership, and heart. After weeks of investing in younger students, growing their skills, and making a difference every single day, it was time to celebrate! 🚗🏁 We took a team trip to Andretti and enjoyed a full day of games, races, laughter and delicious pizza! We're so proud of each of these students and the leaders they're becoming! 💙

Meet Dilan! 💙 When Dilan first joined our Early Learning program at just 3 years old, being away from his mom was hard. He was shy, often cried, and struggled to connect with other children. With patience, encouragement, caring teachers, and a classroom full of love, Dilan began to blossom. Today, he walks into class with confidence, has made new friends, and eagerly participates in learning. Watching him grow into a curious, outgoing, and joyful learner has been a beautiful reminder that every child thrives when they feel safe, seen, and supported. As Dilan prepares for his new school, we're celebrating not just how much he's learned, but the confidence he's gained along the way. We're so proud of you, Dilan! 🌟

The kids may be on break, but the mission never is. Today our fleet had to be moved for an inspection, which turned into a fun reminder that every role matters. From the drivers to the program staff, everyone jumped in, shared a few laughs, and got the job done together. The work you see with students is only possible because of the people working behind the scenes every single day. We're grateful for this incredible team and the joy they bring, even on the most ordinary tasks. Here's to teamwork, a few honking horns, and a parking lot full of purpose. 💙 Los niños pueden estar de vacaciones, pero la misión nunca se detiene. Hoy tuvimos que mover toda nuestra flota de vehículos para una inspección, y lo que parecía una tarea sencilla terminó siendo un recordatorio de que cada persona y cada rol son importantes. Desde nuestros conductores hasta el staff, todos se unieron, compartieron unas cuantas risas y trabajaron juntos para lograr el objetivo. El trabajo que ves con nuestros estudiantes solo es posible gracias a todas las personas que, día tras día, sirven detrás de escena. Estamos profundamente agradecidos por este increíble equipo y por la alegría que aportan, incluso en las tareas más cotidianas como éste estacionamiento lleno de propósito! #CornersOutreach #Teamwork #servingtogether #communityImpact

When Melanie joined our summer program, she was quiet and reserved. Ethan, our new High School Director, invited her to play ping pong, not knowing that a simple game would become the foundation for something much bigger. 🏓💙 Melanie went from never having played before to becoming one of the strongest players in the program, even giving Ethan and other teachers a run for their money. As the weeks went on, Melanie found her confidence. She began speaking up more, building friendships, and taking a more active role in class. Reflecting on the summer, Ethan shared, "She reminded me how driven, creative, intelligent, and funny our students are. It is an honor to be part of her journey." At Corners Outreach, transformation doesn't always happen in big, dramatic moments. Sometimes it happens through a daily game, a trusted mentor, and someone who believes in you. We're so proud of you, Melanie! 💙 P.S swipe to see Ethan's commitment to ping pong... he's willing to be the net! 🤣

Check out the incredible performance from our Corners Summer Camp in DeKalb!! This week, our students performed “Wavin’ Flag” by K’naan, the ICONIC song from the 2010 FIFA World Cup that brought people together around the world. 🌎⚽ Under the incredible leadership of our Music Director, Jeniffer Chow, students learned confidence, collaboration, and the joy of creating something together. To make sure every student could participate, Jeniffer even rewrote the music so that all students could follow along on their instruments. Her dedication created an opportunity for every student to have a voice and be part of the performance. We are so proud of our young musicians! 🎵❤️

One last day 💙 Tomorrow is the final day of Summer Camp at Corners Outreach, and what a summer it's been! From career exploration and field trips to music, sports, watch parties, new friendships, and unforgettable memories, our students have spent the summer learning, growing, and discovering what's possible. Thank you to every family, volunteer, staff member, and supporter who made this incredible summer possible. Here's to an amazing last day and an even brighter school year ahead! ☀️🎉

Last week, our middle school students stepped behind the scenes at Southeast Toyota Distributors for a firsthand look at how a major company operates and they left inspired by all they discovered! During their visit, students toured the facilities, watched a large-scale warehouse operation in action, and discovered how technology powers every part of the process. Along the way, they learned that one company can offer countless career paths, from healthcare and administration to operations, logistics, business leadership, and technology and innovation. Of course, the arcade games in the break room and the employee gym were big hits. 🎮💪 But what made the biggest impression was seeing real careers in action and realizing just how many opportunities exist under one roof. Experiences like these help students connect what they learning in a classroom with the possibilities waiting for them when they grow up. Thank you, Southeast Toyota Distributors, for opening your doors and showing our students that the future holds more opportunities than they ever imagined. 💙

This summer, our middle school students aren't just staying busy — they're beginning to imagine their futures. They've explored careers in 3D printing, coffee roasting and sales, learned about opportunities at local companies like Georgia Power and Southeast Toyota Distributors. They even participated in a financial literacy workshop led by Maleny Roque, Financial Inclusion Leader at Truist, where they learned practical money management skills they'll carry with them for years to come. Preparing students for the future doesn't begin after graduation. It starts by helping them discover what's possible. 💙

Yesterday our littlest learners had their own field trip to the Children's Museum of Atlanta! 🖼️ 🎨 Curiosity was on full display, as our Early Learning campers spent the day exploring, imagining, creating, and discovering through hands-on play. Experiences like these help our youngest learners connect what they learn in the classroom to the world around them. They're building critical thinking skills, practicing creativity, and making memories that will inspire their learning long after the field trip ends. Thank you to everyone who makes opportunities like this possible. Because of your support, our students are able to learn, explore, and dream big — one adventure at a time. ✨

Meet Angel and Gabby 💙 These rising seniors are serving as Camp Counselors in Training this summer, mentoring younger students while gaining hands-on professional experience of their own. As Gabby shared: "It's a blessing to be able to help [the younger kids] with school and life." In addition to helping at camp, they're producing our new podcast mini-series, Brewed at Corners. From developing interview questions to setting up equipment and recording each episode, they're building real-world communication and media skills. For Angel, who hopes to study sports journalism, the experience is providing real-world skills while helping tell the story of the community they love.

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Corners! 💙 Today, we're celebrating the people who make our communities stronger — our families, neighbors, volunteers, students, and supporters. We hope your day is filled with joy, connection, and time with the people you love. Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

From exciting adventures to unforgettable firsts, our students have had an incredible week of field trips! 💙 This week, they explored the World of Coca-Cola, met incredible animals at Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary, experienced immersive art at Exhibition Hub Atlanta Art Center, and enjoyed a trip to see Toy Story 5. For many of our students, these field trips are more than just a day of fun. As our Director of Academy shared, many families are unable to take summer vacations because parents are working multiple jobs to provide for their children. That makes these experiences even more meaningful, giving students the chance to discover new places, try new things, and create memories they might not otherwise have. We're grateful to provide a fun, safe place where students can learn, explore, and experience something new all summer long. ☀️

Meet our newest team member, Ethan! 💙 Ethan is our new High School Director, joining Zayra Alcantar. With a background in social work and a passion for building meaningful relationships, he joined Corners because he believes every child and family deserves individualized support to help them thrive. Ethan believes that one caring, dependable adult can make all the difference in a child's life, and he hopes to be that person for the students he serves. Rooted in kindness, empathy, and honesty, he's excited to build meaningful connections with students, families, and the community. Some fun facts about Ethan: 📚 His favorite subject in school was recess... but if he had to choose a class, it would be social studies (anything but math!). 🍓 His favorite snacks are roasted seaweed and fresh fruit. 🦸 He loves reading Superman stories and has cried at least three times from Superman's stories. We are so excited to have Ethan on the team! Drop a 💙 in the comments to give him a warm welcome!

Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen outside the classroom. Recently, our Mujeres Imparables came together to celebrate one of their own, Jackie Casabella, for her birthday. For Jackie, this wasn't just a party — it was the first time, in years, that she was celebrating herself. We feel honored that she chose to celebrate here at Corners! Jackie wanted to gather at Corners because this community feels like home. A place where friendships have been built, where people encourage one another, and where no one has to celebrate alone. Our Mujeres Imparables worked together to make the day special, reminding Jackie that she is seen, valued, and deeply loved. 💙 --------------------------------------------- A veces, los momentos más importantes ocurren fuera de la clase. Recientemente, nuestras Mujeres Imparables se reunieron para celebrar el cumpleaños de una de ellas, Jackie Casabella. Para Jackie, esto no era solo una fiesta; era la primera vez en años que se celebraba a sí misma. Nos sentimos honradas de que haya elegido celebrar aquí en Corners. Jackie quería reunirse en Corners porque esta comunidad se siente como su hogar. Un lugar donde se han forjado amistades, donde las personas se apoyan mutuamente y donde nadie tiene que celebrar sola. Nuestras Mujeres Imparables trabajaron juntas para que el día fuera especial, recordándole a Jackie que es vista, valorada y profundamente amada. 💙
