About Us — ATL Youth Street Team

Our story

Who We Are

Built by the community, for the next generation.

Founded in 2022 and based in Southwest Atlanta, ATL Youth Street Team was created to give young people meaningful places to belong — on stage, on the court, and in their neighborhoods.

We bring performing arts, sports, and community events together under one mission: to help youth build confidence, creativity, and character. By meeting young people where they are, we create positive outlets, caring mentorship, and experiences that open doors.

As a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, every program and partnership is guided by our commitment to the young people and families of Atlanta.
