Youth Development and Education
A few of the Year of the Youth ambassadors visited some of Atlanta’s teen and tween attractions around the city using our Discover Atlanta app! One of the first stops was the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park.
For the next stop, the youth ambassadors headed outside to enjoy the art, and scenery at the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail.
The Year of the Youth ambassadors enjoyed the many exhibits at the Center For Puppetry Arts. They couldn’t leave without stopping for a picture at Big Bird’s nest.
