Subject: Introduction of non-profit agency – Chatham County Together!
Since its founding in 1989, Chatham County Together!’s mission has been to encourage “at risk” youth and young adults to become healthy, self-sufficient, and contributing members of society by:
.. Fostering positive mentoring relationships
.. Encouraging academic success
.. Teaching valuable skills
.. Offering family advocacy & support
Our services are provided one-on-one, in small groups and in family settings.
The core of CCT’s work is to create opportunities for caring adults to mentor children and youth in need. We also offer other support to help children and youth succeed in life. These include services such as: tutoring, recreational activities, improving family communication skills, family support and positive youth development activities to help prevent school dropouts, gang involvement, teen pregnancy and other problems. Our work is made possible by small grants or contracts from organizations such as the United Way, Chatham County Schools, state and federal grants, foundations and individual supporters like you!
Each year, more than 150 volunteers from across Chatham County give over 7,500 in volunteer hours to help with not only these activities but with everything from fundraising to newsletter design. We invite you to visit ur newly renovated website at www.chathamcountytogether.org and to join us in improving lives in Chatham County, one child at a time!
