OUR MISSION IS...
Providing advocacy and other resources for Georgia's children and their families to prevent school failure.
WELCOME
Welcome to the Truancy Intervention Project (TIP) Web site. We are pleased to provide this snapshot of the volunteers, programs and families that make up our efforts to prevent school failure. Serving some 700 children annually, TIP has the vision of eradicating school failure through ongoing collaborations with the Fulton County Juvenile Court, Atlanta City and Fulton County Public School Systems, The Atlanta and Georgia Bar Foundations, and innumerable community-based outreach programs that work to serve children and families. Touting a 77 percent success rate, we continue to work each day to save one more child from the brink of school failure, and the years of private pain and public expense that they will otherwise face. Thank you for visiting our site. Please share with us your thoughts and any initiatives happening in your community.
