Celebrating its 15th Anniversary, Agape Community Center provides high quality, academic-based after school programs for elementary, middle school and high school students from impoverished families, and day programming for seniors and disabled adults. What makes Agape unique is the depth of service delivery and the long-term relationships it makes with each client to truly make an impact and help to change the trajectory of each life it touches.
Our Mission
Agape empowers and supports underserved families within its community to discover and embrace their full potential.
Agape achieves this mission by offering programs and services that are responsive to a variety of needs for school-age children, disabled individuals, adults, senior citizens, and families of NW Atlanta.
15th Anniversary Celebration raises more than $100,000 to Aid Families in NW Atlanta
Thursday, April 19th was a true celebration of the successes of the Agape Community Center. The Butterfly Parade from the Growing Geniuses elementary program kicked off the evening with a joyful performance. Their rendition of 'This Little Light of Mine' warmed the hearts of all in attendance and revealed the hope that is being shared with families through the work of Agape. Chaired by Melissa & Allen Moseley and Elsie & Jim Henderson the cocktail reception held at the Gardens at Northern Trust was the perfect evening for the 250 attendees to mingle while making a difference in the community. The Butterfly Auction was the grand finale of the event raising over $17,000 to directly impact the lives of those served by Agape.
