Kids in one of Atlanta's neediest neighborhoods are getting robust afterschool programs because two executives met more than 500 miles from home - and a group of leaders turned that chance meeting into action.

One of those executives runs WINGS, an afterschool program looking to expand beyond its home base of Charleston, S.C. The other co-chairs Atlanta's Ready by 21 Leadership Council, which is working to improve youth services in high-need neighborhoods. Now WINGS is coming to 200 youths in one of those neighborhoods. This short story shows how a strong leadership group can make changes happen quickly.
