GTLA Helping Georgia Families Prevent School Failure

GTLA is proud to announce that our Community Outreach Committee is working with the Truancy Intervention Project (TIP) in 2012. TIP was started in 1991 by Judge Glenda Hatchett and then-President of the Atlanta Bar Association, Terry Walsh, with the goal of intervening in a child's life when he or she skips school on a regular basis. Because truancy is a reliable indicator of teenage incarceration, it is critical to provide an early, positive intervention of this behavior.

Here's how it works: GTLA volunteers will receive 5 hours of training and then advocate for a child in juvenile court after a petition of truancy has been brought against him or her. In addition, volunteers will work with the child and their family to encourage and facilitate attendance at school and eventually graduation from high school.  Contact Erik Olson to learn more about the Truancy Intervention Project and upcoming trainings.
