OUR HISTORY

The Fortitude Educational and Cultural Development Center was established to provide accessible locations for public service activities in the metropolitan Atlanta communities for youth and adults. The Center provides opportunities for youth to improve the quality of their lives through targeted programs focused on scholarship, financial literacy, health, and personal presentation. Additionally, The Center provides programs aligned with the educational and physical needs of an aging population, specifically senior citizens as it relates to their understanding of complex retirement information related to housing, social security, and overall financial literacy.

Our programs are designed to foster an atmosphere that supports and encourages community involvement in a way that will build and strengthen the capacity and resiliency of the metropolitan Atlanta communities. The Center recognizes its role in providing results-driven programs that encourage inclusiveness, participation, and equality of the targeted communities' residents.

VISION MISSION

FECDC’s vision is to deliver services and resources for youth and seniors in Atlanta communities.

FECDC is committed to addressing the needs of the whole child and the whole senior. FECDC concentrates their efforts in areas with limited resources.
