 | | Mission: Bright Futures Atlanta (Bright Futures) provides unique educational, social, and spiritual opportunities for adolescents and their families of the Grove Park neighborhood, an inner-city community in Atlanta, Georgia, as a way to break the cycle of too-early parenthood, glorification of criminality, and criticism of academic achievement. |
| | Background: In 1999, the co-founders of Bright Futures, Philip and Gail Ross, were called into the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, to enhance opportunities for the community’s children and their families to lead fulfilling and productive lives. |
| | After purchasing a home in the Grove Park community of Atlanta near Donald L. Hollowell Parkway (formerly Bankhead Highway), a high-crime and low-income inner city community, the couple became committed volunteers and supporters of Benjamin S. Carson Middle School. |
