From Our Executive Director
Kelly Fields, Executive Director
As most of you are aware we live by the principle it takes a village. We could sit and plan all day long the things we would want to do for the kids in our programs, but without the volunteers our plans would go nowhere. Without our social workers in the schools we’d never know which kids could use just a little extra help managing some super tough situations and without supporters we would be limited in resources. Thank you to all of you who add to the combined effort to make a difference in the lives of kids in Fulton, Gwinnett and Hall.

40 – Seniors, Graduates, & Lives Changed
We are proud to announce that we have 40 high school seniors in our mentor program that are graduating this year! These students have overcome uncommon obstacles to achieve a common goal – graduating high school! High school graduation is key to ending the cycle of youth homelessness. We appreciate the mentors that have guided these amazing young people to their goals!
Looking Into the Future
 Aim at nothing you're sure to hit it every time. Not all of our graduates will want to go onto school after graduation, but we believe the option should be presented to each of our mentees. This year students in Gwinnett , North & South Fulton were given the opportunity to participate in college and technical school tours. Our goal is to give them the opportunity to have a target in mind for the future!
