Georgia Hall of Fame
This Hall of Fame is a virtual museum celebrating the extraordinary youth, men and women who have made significant contributions to the Boys & Girls Club Movement in Georgia.
Each has helped raise the standards and level of professionalism in the Boys & Girls Club Movement, while inspiring and mentoring future generations, laying the ground work that encourages us all to strive for excellence in helping children who need us most.
Inductees are announced at a dinner held at the annual Georgia Area Council meeting in October. History of Inductees is shown under this tab by year.

History
The Georgia Boys & Girls Club Hall of Fame began in 2009 as a result of a proposal presented to the Georgia Area Council.
The plan provided that the Georgia Boys & Girls Club Hall of Fame be developed under the leadership of a council of advisors to honor those youth members, men and women who have best served the Boys & Girls Club cause in Georgia as well an effort to preserve institutional knowledge and the culture of the Boys & Girls Club Movement.
