Albert and the Atlanta Dream celebrate back-to-school at Global Village Project

On August 4, we joined the Atlanta Dream at Global Village Project in Decatur, a school serving recently arrived refugee and immigrant girls, to celebrate the start of the school year.

Students played basketball, picked out real school supplies through a hands-on budgeting activity using “Al-bills”, and enjoyed bubble tea together.

We supported the school with new equipment for the school’s tech center, and then shared a special surprise: Albert is committing $130,000 over four years to Global Village Project, with flexibility for the school to use the funding on what its students and teachers need most as those needs come up.

Albert is built around making money feel handled. We wanted to bring some of that same feeling to the Global Village Project community — a few concrete needs taken care of now, and flexible support for whatever comes up next, so staff, families, and students can focus on what matters most.

Global Village Project is one of three school communities we’re supporting this back-to-school season, alongside schools in Dallas and Los Angeles. Stay tuned for more!
