Rock climbing, batting cages, golf swings, and endless smiles! 🧗⚾️⛳️

Our campers had the BEST time exploring everything Dick’s House of Sport had to offer. They challenged themselves, tried new activities, cheered each other on, and spent the day doing what kids do best, PLAYING!

A huge thank you to the Dick’s Sports Matter Foundation for making this experience possible and for the incredible surprise gift that will help us keep our youth active, engaged, and moving!

We’re still smiling from this amazing day!

What a way to kick off Summer Camp 2026! ☀️⛺️

This week, our campers jumped into hands-on STEAM challenges, from creating bandages and designing avalanche prevention systems to building their own antivirus programs. They explored new places on field trips and started our Around the World Summer Reading Challenge.

The excitement continued as campers met their teammates, competed in team challenges, ran and played at rec, explored choice clubs, and made memories with friends old and new.

Week 1 was filled with learning, teamwork, creativity, and plenty of fun! We can’t wait to see where the next few weeks take us! 💙

What a special day for our YELLS leaders!

We were so honored to be invited by Atlanta United to participate in their Community Training Session with the Uzbekistan National Team as they prepare for the beautiful game this summer.

Our leaders had the opportunity to test their skills in soccer challenges, meet and play alongside the Uzbekistan players, collect autographs, and even watch the team train. We were so excited to be a part of welcoming the Uzbekistan National team to our community right here on Franklin Gateway!

A huge thank you to Atlanta United for including us in such an exciting day. It was an unforgettable experience for our leaders! ⚽️💙🇺🇿

When Jevyn first joined YELLS, he was looking for guidance and support.

What he found was a community that believed in him.

Over the years, he grew from a YELLS “Little” into a confident leader mentoring others, leading community events, and preparing for college.

That is the power of investing in young people right here in our community.

Through June 26, your donation will be doubled through our matching campaign.
