Atlanta ICO Agencies
John
Hope Elementary School
Hope Elementary is located next to the Martin Luther King Center
downtown, working with 4th and 5th graders. These teachers select
kids to join on trips based on behavior and interest. Kids here
often vary more then w/ the other agencies. Trips are co-ed and
tend not to be strenuous. Having strong agency reps ensures discipline
is never an issue.
Agency Leaders: Sven Lovegren
Brookhaven and Warren Boys and Girls Clubs
Dedicated to providing safe and enjoyable after school and summer
programs, the Clubs offer a variety of activities including team
sports, homework tutoring, computer skills, crafts and summer camp
programs. ICO works with the Clubs to provide an outdoor component
to their offerings. Kids are selected by the agency representative
based on interest and behavior. Ages vary depending on the trip
from 9-16 years old. Most trips are co-ed. The Warren Club is located
near the Atlanta Zoo and Grant Park off I-20 just east of downtown.
Team members should be willing to be van certified. Brookhaven is
located just north of Buckhead on N. Druid Hills Rd. We have been
working with Brookhaven since 1995 and with Warren since 1996.
