Corners Outreach
Corner Outreach’s vision is to build a community where every person thrives, no matter their background. Bridging The Gap. Working For Change. Changing Our Community. Celebrating 10 Years.
Their mission is Equipping Metro Atlanta’s underserved students of color and their families to lead full lives through educational development and economic opportunities.
Corners accomplishes this through Corners Academy, Workforce Academy, Corners Industries and working with community partners.
With tremendous effort from volunteers and certified teachers, Corners Academy sees significant improvement in reading and math for attending students. This is especially true for dual-language learners. Summer camp fills a serious void in the lives of our elementary students. Having camp five days a week gives students a safe and enriching place to spend their summer days while parents work. Students are able to continue studies, stay connected with their friends, enjoy a healthy meal, and continue to grow through a variety of games and experiences. Meanwhile, parents have the peace of mind knowing their children are cared for while they can’t be with them.
Corners Industries is employing members of the community in living wage jobs using talents they already have. Their largest industry is Lawn Care with a Purpose, which employs multiple teams and serving over 500 clients. Lawn Care with a purpose serves the entire metro area with mowing, fertilization, hardscapes, pine straw, mulch, flowers and plants, sprinkler systems, lighting and more! Ten percent of all revenue from Lawn Care with a Purpose is donated to Corners Academy.
Corners Outreach works closely with community partners in efforts to continue serving families through a holistic approach.

At the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, everything they do centers around one purpose – improving the world through the power of philanthropy. 
On a fundamental level, they do that through managing funds held in trust, donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses. Most funds are donor-advised funds, similar to savings accounts. These funds are pooled for investment purposes and their income is used to make grants for a wide variety of charitable purposes.
But the Foundation’s goals expand far beyond managing funds. They desire to strengthen the communities they serve in Gwinnett, Northeast Georgia, and beyond by providing leadership, addressing community needs, and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.
