About Tutoring at Garnet Ridge

Garnet Ridge Boys and Girls Club is located in a mostly-Latino neighborhood of duplexes in north Athens, off Jefferson Rd. Originally an outreach of the UGA School of Social Work, it became a sub-unit of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Athens several years ago, and conducts many different after-school and summer programs for resident children. The program is also sometimes spelled "Garnett Ridge".
