Detail: The Joseph B. Whitehead works with hundreds of kids and teens each year to help them reach their full potential. We provide an environment where all youth feel safe and secure to dream, discover, and develop. Our programs focus on helping kids succeed in school, live healthy, and become leaders. Our Club first started out as a summer recreational program in South Bend Park for neighborhood kids in 1944. In 1947, the Lakewood group organized a board of directors to extend the programs year round. By 1948, the Club became an associated branch of the Atlanta Boys Club. The first permanent building facilities were two wood-framed houses. As membership grew, plans were made to build a new, larger building, with the Whitehead Foundation largely supporting the initiative. In gratitude for the very generous gift from the Whitehead Foundation, the Club was named the Joseph B. Whitehead Memorial Boys’ Club in 1958 after the son of Mrs. Lettie Pate Evans, the widow of Joseph Whitehead.
