ATLANTA, GA (Feb. 8, 2013) — City of Refuge, in conjunction
with North American Properties (NAP), will break ground today on a $750,000, 10,000-square-foot education
center to house Bright Futures Academy.
Once complete in
April, the facility will serve more than 100 middle and high school students —
more than three times the capacity of the current facility — and also add
elementary grades. In addition to schooling, students and their families have
access to medical, dental, mental health services and vocational training free
of charge.
City of Refuge, the
umbrella organization that partners with Bright Futures Academy, is dedicated
to community development efforts that lead to the stability and sustainability
of disadvantaged neighborhoods in Northwest Atlanta.
Started in 1970 as “Mission Possible,” the growing program
was re-incorporated in 1997 as City of Refuge. In 2003, a 200,000-square-foot
warehouse was donated in the heart of the struggling Vine City neighborhood.
The relocation has allowed the organization to expand its services and reach
more people.
