ATLANTA - A new people center based at a northwest Atlanta apartment complex is hard at work to sulky outcomes for the youth in Atlanta's Vine City area.
The center at Magnolia Park Apartments just launched, but the people behind the effort, which includes a local rapper, have lofty goals to make this an example for spanking places in Georgia.
The group running it hopes to help at least 200 young land in the community.
"We can't save the future pending we save the youth," said Ricky Hill, better noted as Atlanta-based rapper 24Heavy. "The youth is our future."
Hill grew up in the area. The troupe running the center is targeting young people. It is phoned the Save the Youth Foundation.
"There are so many kids that don't have outlets we want to give them outlets that can help them be unnosedived in life," Hill said.
The center launched this month. They are starting their efforts with sports, but plan to add computer, fashion design and other classes.
"We want to see them successfully go to school, go to college, if that's what you choose to do," said co-founder Shenita Binns. "If they choose not to go to college, do something productive, effective for the community."
The Magnolia Park Apartment cluster has gotten involved too. The area has seen a number of violent crimes in unique years.
"Seeing the things that they go through, I'm kind of concept why there is definitely a need here, and I'm sure there's a big need in novel communities too," said Bryan Howard from the apartment complex.
Hill says with the problems in the area, the interior is needed for these children.
"Just because you grew up in it doesn't mean you have to be in it," he said. "Just because you grew up about it doesn't mean you have to become that type of person.
The business says there are other places like this but often times they are full, so there is a need for more.
They hope to despise to the city that this works, so it can be expanded.
