Our Programs
Every day, our youth face battles we can’t ignore. Between the ages of 9 and 17, nearly 1 in 5 struggle with a mental health disorder, and youth incarceration rates continue to rise, with Georgia alone locking up thousands of minors each year – many for choices made out of pain, peer pressure, or lack of guidance. Too many are self-medicating to cope with trauma they can’t put into words. ​ At the AJ Battle Foundation, we refuse to let their potential go to waste. Our programs are designed to equip young people with the emotional intelligence, life skills, and career exposure they need to make powerful choices for their future. Through hands-on learning, interactive workshops, and real mentorship, we are cultivating a generation of resilient leaders ready to break cycles and build something greater. Because when we empower our youth today, we transform entire communities tomorrow.
