Lighting a Spark
Our work centers on three key pillars: Nourishing, Supporting, and Advancing Georgia's youth.
Nourish
Food Depots
We have launched free grocery stores in Title I schools across Georgia, providing essential food access to students and their families.
With free grocery stores in Riverwood High School, Banneker High School and North Springs High School, this initiative aims to reach 9,000 students and families, with plans to expand to additional schools and communities.
Support
We funded year-long, specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and suicide prevention for more than 90 mental health professionals serving Title I schools.
The initiative equips school-based professionals to recognize and respond to early signs of crisis, while providing grants to participating schools to strengthen ongoing student support, with the long-term goal of reaching every public school.

Trainings to recognize, respond, and support
We provide scholarships to students in Georgia who might otherwise lack the financial means to attend college or trade school.
Selected through a community-based nomination and review process involving high school counselors, recipients receive $5,000 toward tuition, with plans to grow from two scholarships in 2025–2026 to five by 2027–2028.
