Keeping Youth & Young Adults Safe, Educated and Employed
GLACIERS ICE YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM
Glaciers Ice was founded to keep our youth safe, educated, and employed. Our entrepreneurship program is a viable solution for Atlanta's infamous "Water Boyz". Our youth entrepreneurship program implores a screening process where youth undergo an intensive mentoring program where they learn the Glaciers Italian Ice key principles: Hard Work, Humility, Honesty, and Hospitality. We wish for our youth to grow with our company becoming owner operators as they master budgeting, communication, and time management skills.
THE LEARNING CLUB
Since 2006, The Learning Club has been dedicated to mentoring the most vulnerable children and young adults. As an after-school program, we offer a variety of activities and academic support to AWAKEN students GREATNESS. As gangs, guns, drugs, and sex oversaturate our young people’s minds this program provides college mentors to steer them in the right direction. We provide daily programming consisting of board games, modeling, films, etc to engage our youth. Support our mission to change the MINDSET of our inner city youth.
