Paradise Atlanta Westside Enrichment Center

The Paradise Atlanta Enrichment Center (pawkids) provides an educational assistance program (pep) which is based on initial reading assessments at the start of the school year, and every student has enrolled at pawkids has a pep action plan to capitalize on strengths and target weaknesses. Pawkids strive for the holistic development of their children; spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. The main focus is exposure to new people, places, and things outside grove park. Counseling services are offered through a cohort of licensed practioners to families, individuals, and community leaders in the grovepark district. Pawkids constantly adjusts/adds programs based on the ever changing needs of the community.

The community outreach program was developed to build stroger families and in turn stronger communities by providing the community with tools and skills they need to thrive. The community outreach program focuses on benevolences that are made for emergency rent assistance and disaster support.

Pawkids runs a food pantry in the grove park community. It is a documented fact that the grove park community is a food desert. The pandemic created a perfect storm as low income earners lost their jobs and had no access to transportation. The food pantry, "claudia's house" provides pre-cooked meals, shelf stable products, and fresh vegetables and fruit. A food truck is used in conjuntion with the food pantry, going out into the community and providing meals to those who do not have transportation.
