Elks Aidmore

What Elks Aidmore does

Elks Aidmore, Inc. is a Georgia-based nonprofit social services organization founded in 1940 that delivers a continuum of care for at-risk youth and young adults. Its core programs include a 24/7 Residential Treatment program serving female adolescents ages 12-18 on a 141-acre Conyers campus; a statewide Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) program for ages 0-21; a Transitional Living Program for ages 16-19; and an Independent Living Program for ages 18+. Service delivery is trauma-informed and supported by credentialed staff, with Service Coordinators required to hold Master's degrees in human services fields and foster parents required to complete 36 hours of initial training.

The organization is funded through a combination of government contracts from the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) and Multi Agency Alliance for Children (MAAC) referrals, interest from an irrevocable trust established in 1955 that contributes approximately 20% of the operating budget, and charitable donations including the Georgia Fostering Success Tax Credit program. Ancillary revenue is generated by opening the campus to the public for pavilion rental, ropes course team-building, field trips, and recreational amenities. The 141-acre campus includes three residential cottages, three administrative buildings, a gymnasium, a learning resource center with computer lab, and extensive outdoor facilities.
