Community Day - Adams Park @Promise Center, May 14
The AT-Promise initiative has been in operation since August 2017, serving youth from around the city. The services provided include individual therapy, group therapy, educational assistance including tutoring, mentoring and GED classes, testing, workforce prep, arts instruction in music and filmmaking, as well as recreational activities.
The first location opened in 2017 at 740 Cameron Alexander Boulevard, the second center in 2021 located at 836 Metropolitan Parkway and the newest location, the Truist Andrew & Walter Young AT-Promise Center in February of this year.
AT-Promise is a program serving youth across the city of Atlanta. Each youth who attends the program receives a therapeutic assessment to determine their individualized plan of services to include GED/education assistance, workforce prep and/or recreation activities applying the appropriate professional expertise to each individual case, ensuring relevance and a personalized approach.

2022 Summer Teen Hiring Fair
Teen job seekers will get to meet with potential employers to talk about opportunities in their community.

Representatives from the Fulton County Board of Health will also be on site to provide walk-up COVID-19 vaccinations and to schedule vaccination appointments.
The WorkSource Fulton Mobile Career Center will be on site to assist teens in signing up for its Career Compass Academy. The Career Compass Academy is a paid virtual work readiness program for eligible young people between the ages of 14 and 24. The five week long program provides youth with work-ready skills and abilities along with opportunities to explore and practice work activities in a virtual environment.

Fusus is the software used in the Real-Time Crime Center. Fusus allows every citizen who chooses to do so to integrate their cameras into our network. Those that wish to share video only when requested can do so for free by registering their cameras.
Looking for volunteers!
Although the NPU is affiliated with the City of Atlanta, we are entirely volunteer run. That means everything that happens in the NPU - the emails to our City representatives, the meetings with applicants and constituents, the reports and recommendations and even the posts to our blog like this one - are being done by people who are taking time out of their own lives, for free, to help the community.
So as you can imagine, there's usually more work than people! We have openings available everywhere in the NPU, at all committees. A quick recap of our standing committees:
Land Use Committee
The Land Use committee makes recommendations to the NPU about zoning, development, code, and land use. It meets every 1st Wednesday of the month at 6:15 pm
Karen Babino, Chair: land@npu-s.org.
- This committee specifically could use help with the Transportation subcommittee, which is juggling the Campbellton BRT/LRT project and the Cascade Complete Streets, among other things.
- They also need folks to help out with working with our Code Enforcement officers.
Quality of Life Committee
This committee makes recommendations to the NPU about public safety, parks, recreation, culture, and the environment. It meets every 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:30pm.
- Quality of Life does a lot. Right now, we're missing a Public Safety subcommittee chair, an important position.
Robbie Hunter, Chair: quality@npu-s.org
Assistant Services Committee
This committee makes recommendations to the NPU about senior citizens, youth, and education. It meets every fourth Wednesday at 6:00 pm.
- Assistant Services needs a Youth representative - this would be a great position for an engaged student resident of the NPU.
- Assistant Services also administers the NPU Senior Lawncare Service, which has a number of moving parts - help there would be greatly appreciated!
Rogelio Arcila, Chair: assistant@npu-s.org
Policy Committee
This committee makes recommendations to the NPU about the bylaws, and our policies and positions on matters both internal and external to the NPU, and our relationship to our neighbors and the City of Atlanta. It meets every 1st Thursday at 6:00 pm.
- The Policy committee could really use a detail-oriented person to go over our bylaws with a fine-toothed comb to help strengthen our organization.
Kyle Lamont, Chair: policy@npu-s.org
If any of these open positions sound interesting to you - or if there's some other way you'd like to help, or if you're just curious - don't hesitate to contact the committee chairs or contact Nick Hess, chair@npu-s.org or (404) 890 0089, for more information.
May 12 Class: AMI and Housing Affordability
As the cost of housing continues to skyrocket, many people want to see more affordable housing built. But what does "affordable" mean? Affordable to whom? And what does the term AMI mean?
