Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta

📢 “Atlanta is a group project and we can't do much without each other,” Mayor Andre Dickens shared yesterday as he announced over $30 million in support for Atlanta Public School students through the Atlanta Year of the Youth initiative. These funds will provide vital wrap-around services like mentorship, academic assistance, and college prep. 🎓 APS Superintendent Dr. Brian Johnson added, “We only get to spend about 20% of a child’s life inside the walls of a school [...as educators] – the rest is where these partnerships matter most.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta is proud to be part of this incredible collaboration of the Atlanta Mayor's Office, APS, and a coalition of community-based groups! 💚💙
