Volunteer: Communities in Schools Cobb County

Do you have one hour a week to help a young person in need of a trusted friend? Communities in Schools, our nation's leading dropout prevention organization, is recruiting mentors to help our youth to achieve success in Cobb County. Mentors serve as adult role models helping with post-secondary planning and developing the skills needed to be successful beyond graduation. Mentors listen, laugh, and share positive time with a young person seeking support and friendship. Training is provided and mentor matches are made based on the unique qualities of each adult and student. Please contact Meghan Wilson, Programs Manager, Communities in Schools Marietta/Cobb County for more information or to become a mentor, 678-503-0901 or mwilson@cismcc.org

Now is the time to act on the budget

From the GA Center for Nonprofits

Check out our Advocacy Toolkit for scripts and contact information.

What to do

Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
