Next fall, Athens teens will get the chance to learn and have fun while on excursions hosted by the Athens-Clarke County Leisure Servicesâ âGo Beyondâ program.
The Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department will launch its âGo Beyondâ program for teens in October 2021. The eight-month program will serve 20 Athens-area teens in grades 6-12, and participants will embark on field trips across North Georgia to a variety of educational and engaging experiences, such as the Civil Rights Museum, Medieval Times and paintballing.
The program, which will be free of charge for participants, is being funded by a $5,120 donation from local law firm Blasingame, Burch, Garrard, and Ashley, P.C. The donation was made in honor of the retirement of two of the firmâs partners, Michael Morris and Thomas Rogers Jr.
