Atlanta, Georgia
Talent is everywhere. Access is not.
ATL Project Launch connects motivated Atlanta students to the professional world through mentorship, exposure, skills, and real opportunity, beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.
Across Atlanta there are motivated students with the ability and the work ethic to succeed who simply have not had the same access to the professional world. Many have not personally met a professional in the field they are interested in, been inside a corporate office, or had a mentor who could open a door. ATL Project Launch is a progressive program that helps close that gap through assessment, skills development, business exposure, mentorship, and real-world opportunity.
Students advance through defined stages and arrive prepared. Partners' time is respected.
The program is privately funded. There is no cost to the students or the companies involved.
We open doors for young people who earn it, creating a ripple effect that benefits us all for generations to come.
A structured, fully funded program with a coordinator who manages every step, so students arrive prepared and partners are supported.
Your success wasn't built on hard work alone.
Your work ethic and ability carried much of it, but that wasn't all. Somewhere along the way, someone set an example for you, and someone gave you an opportunity, even a small one. That exposure shaped what you believed was possible, and a little access opened doors. ATL Project Launch invites you to do the same for a young person who has already demonstrated their own work ethic and capacity, yet comes from a challenging environment that hasn't offered the exposure and access the rest of us have benefited so greatly from.
The talent is there. The access is not. You can change that by doing nothing more than letting a student see your world.
