Beyond the Classroom...

Do you want to make an impact on the Metro Atlanta area?

Are you a student in the Atlanta region who is looking for an opportunity to grow their leadership skills? A student who cares about housing affordability, protection of greenspace, and other issues facing metro Atlanta? If so, then the region’s premier leadership program, Model Atlanta Regional Commission (MARC), is a great opportunity!


MARC is the only program of its kind to involve students in experiential learning in real-world areas affecting life here in metro Atlanta. For more than two decades, it has engaged young people on the latest in transportation, natural resource sustainability, and community development.

MARC participants meet once a month for six months as they take part in hands-on activities, behind-the-scenes tours, and thought-provoking discussions with local civic leaders and experts as they develop their own actionable solutions to the challenges facing us.


Apply here by April 15, 2022!

Are you interested in Aviation?

The Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals better known as OBAP. Every summer OBAP sponsors in cities all over the country an OBAP ACE Academy for Middle and High School Students. If you know a young person interested in Aviation, this could be the program for them.

The ACE Academy is designed to expose youths to the wide variety of career opportunities in aviation and aerospace. The program offers students a hands-on experience of learning aviation history, fundamentals of aerodynamics, the role of government in aviation and the many careers available in the aerospace field.

The ACE Academy is a multi-day event for middle and high school students that have a general interest in learning about aviation. The goal of the ACE Academy is to expose students to the many different careers in aviation. We also aim to show them the practical application of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. By the end of the program, we hope that the participants will have a wider horizon of the many career opportunities available to them. We challenge our students to strive for excellence.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR 2022 in Atlanta. To learn more about the program and enroll:
