2nd Annual Summer Trip to Atlanta, GA
The 2025 Ignite Summer Trip to Atlanta, Georgia gave the Ignite Kids an unforgettable experience filled with learning, fun, and inspiration. The Ignite Kids explored HBCU campuses including Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College, and Morehouse College, helping them see college life up close and imagine their own future paths. The group also enjoyed exciting outings to Lenox Mall and the Beat The Bomb Escape Room, where teamwork and problem-solving were on full display. Staying at the Embassy Suites Hotel allowed the Ignite Kids to build friendships, reflect on the experience, and grow together throughout the trip.
Ignite Kids Beautify McCue Park for Earth Day 2025
During the Ignite Earth Day Clean Up 2025 at McCue Park, the Ignite Kids dedicated their Saturday to giving back to their community through hands-on service. With pride and purpose, they painted, removed trash and debris, pressure-washed surfaces, raked leaves, and repainted the lines on the basketball court. Their hard work transformed the park into a cleaner, brighter, and more welcoming space for neighborhood families. The day reflected Ignite’s commitment to service, teamwork, and taking ownership of the community we call home.
