What Corners Outreach does

Corners Outreach is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization (EIN: 45-5613973) headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, founded in 2013 (firmographic data also cites 2012) and operating a two-generation model that delivers educational development and economic opportunity services to underserved students and families across the greater Atlanta area. Its core programs are Corners Academy (after-school tutoring and educational support from early childhood through high school, delivered in partnership with Gwinnett and DeKalb County Public Schools at $9/week versus a Georgia market average of $102/week) and a Workforce Development program offering career readiness, ESL, GED preparation, and industry certifications across healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, customer service, and logistics.

The organization supports these programs through a portfolio of three social enterprises structured as wholly owned subsidiaries: Corners Staffing (a staffing agency placing candidates with local employers and reporting 85% retention at 90 days in 2025), Lawn Care With A Purpose (a landscaping service employing community parents), and Corners Roasters (a coffee roasting e-commerce brand at cornersroasters.org). Revenue is generated primarily through charitable donations from individuals, corporations, and community partners — including a partnership with United Way of Greater Atlanta — supplemented by earned revenue from the social enterprises and subsidized tuition. The organization employs 19 staff, has served 1,500+ families and 4,500+ individuals, and operates with certifications from 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21CCLC) and Excellence in Giving (EIG), in addition to 501(c)(3) status.
