Built on Strength

Since it was founded in 1960, the Bobby Dodd Institute has helped people with developmental disabilities and economic disadvantages. Named in honor of coach Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech, a football legend and tireless advocate for people with disabilities, BDI annually serves approximately 519 Atlanta-area clients. The Institute's mission is to empower these people to maximize their employment potential while securing self-sufficiency, independence, and integration into society.
