Legal Advocacy
Our program is dedicated to ensuring that the rights and best interests of students and their families are effectively represented in truancy proceedings. Driven by expertise and a deep commitment to justice, our team is further supported by a remarkable network of pro bono attorneys who bring passion and dedication to their advocacy roles.
How Does Legal Advocacy Work?
Pro Bono Partnerships
We are honored to have long-standing partnerships with the Georgia Bar Foundation, the Atlanta Bar Association, and renowned law firms such as Alston & Bird, King & Spalding, and Troutman Pepper. These partnerships are essential, enabling us to leverage a vast array of legal expertise and resources. The pro bono work contributed by these organizations and firms is invaluable, providing top-notch legal support and mentorship to the families we assist.
