This page is dedicated to any opportunities that I hear about, such as scholarships, leadership trainings, workshops, events, etc. that may benefit anyone on the Youth Action Team.
Youth Empowerment Series:
The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) Youth Empowerment Series (YES) is accepting applicants for the 2018-19 school year, and we would love to have high school students from your community be a part of our program!
YES offers students an opportunity to participate in several workshops centered on youth development and engagement, such as goal setting, public speaking, resume building and community service activities. The core values underlying the program seek to provide youth with a blueprint to implement change in their community. Students in the program will provide their input and insight on current issues, build workforce skills and develop as leaders. Through career panels, networking and participation, students in the program will also gain exposure to policy and understand how DHS serves Georgians.
During the sessions, we will introduce the services offered by DHS. Students will hear from representatives that work in our divisions of Aging Services, Child Support Services and Family and Children Services. Then, students will be given a chance to provide their input and insight on these services. For more information, the program details can be found at https://dhs.georgia.gov/youth-empowerment-series-yes.
Please share this information with any students who may be interested.
The application for participation can be found at https://dhs.georgia.gov/apply-yes. The deadline to apply is April 13th.
Please note: Accepted students must commit to attending four Saturday sessions in their region of the state throughout the 2018-19 school year. Transportation is required.
For any questions, please feel free to contact [email protected] or 404-463-0745.

Mini Teen Talk POP UP Event: March 10th @ 5:00-6:30 pm, City Creamery
After this past month's school shooting threats, it is vitally important that we create a safe outlet in order to allow the youth of our community to positively talk about what has happened! We only have 25 tickets available. The 1st 15 registrants will receive free frozen yogurt, and then we will give away 5 free frozen yogurts that day for those who stepped up to guide the conversation.
