Fulton Industrial Boys Association
The Fulton Industrial business community has long been involved in supporting Association youth development activity in the area. Anchored by the sponsorship of UPS, with a major facility in the area, and the active leadership of the Lathem Time Company, Cleveland Electric, and Sanderson Industries the new Fulton Industrial Boys Association is now serving a growing group of 40 boys in the Boulder Park area of Adamsville.

Service Area
The large apartment complexes and older single family homes along Boulder Park Drive and Fairburn Road are home to an increasing number of federally subsidized residents and children. These areas lack the youth infrastructure of the closed public housing communities from which many of these families have recently moved.
The Association has an immediate need for new mentoring companies and 30 workplace mentors to serve boys already active in the program.

Meeting and Scout Hub
Margaret Fain Elementary School
Fain Elementary School, located in the Adamsville/Boulder Park community is the meeting and scout hub for the Fulton Industrial Boys Association. Principal M.
