About Us
The Henry Arthur Callis Education Foundation was established in 1986 to support educational initiatives focused on youth in the Cobb County and North Fulton areas. Over the years, our programs have served and rewarded young men who exhibit scholastic excellence, good character and demonstrated community service.
Welcome
Welcome to the Callis Foundation website. On behalf of our Foundation Board, we are proud of our 35-year record of impactful community service and unwavering commitment to the thousands of young men served throughout Cobb and North Fulton Counties. To the parents and guardians of our program participants, we are grateful for the trust that you continue to place in us as you allow your sons to participate in our community service and program initiatives. Thank you to our Industry Partners for your continued support and sponsorship which allows the Callis Foundation to provide meaningful, targeted, and timely community service initiatives.
Our commitment to the young men of Cobb and North Fulton Counties is stronger than ever. We continue to offer exceptional programming and community outreach by preparing young men for the life challenges that await.
