Spent a sunny Saturday at the Hartnett Community Garden with the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance and Hands on Atlanta! 🌿 We got our hands dirty planting, weeding, and revitalizing the space to support food distribution for our senior community. A day full of good vibes, giving back, and connecting with nature—so rewarding to make a difference together!

Our August General Body Meeting was an amazing way to kick off the new fiscal year! We proudly inducted our newly elected Executive Leadership Team, and we’re excited to see the impact their leadership will bring this year.

We were also inspired by the powerful words of National Urban League Young Professionals President, Shalondan Hollingshed, who energized us with her wisdom on how we can use our voices and gifts to make a difference within YP. Plus, we had the honor of hearing from Mayor Andre Dickens who helped us start the year on a strong and positive note. Looking forward to all the great things ahead!
