Community Well-Being
Our programs give youth a stake in where they live by addressing food insecurity through “Garden FC” or helping design one of our learning centers.
“We rode on MARTA to East Point from the airport, and had a chance, with Mayor Ingraham, to visit the East Point Exchange Development. We saw a soccer field built in partnership with MARTA by an organization called Soccer in the Streets—demonstrating what’s possible when community assets are a source of value for all. Maybe most importantly of all, it shows kids that they, too, have ownership of our shared public assets. That it belongs to them. This exemplifies yet one more way to think about transit-oriented development.”
- U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg
