The Georgia Mountains Youth Services Program has begun to partner
with the Stephens County Boys & Girls Club, Stephens County Adult
Education, Northeast Georgia Housing Authority, Stephens County
Schools and Stephens County Family Connections to provide a Youth
Transition Program.  

The Program will target youth that have dropped-out of school and are
looking to improve their circumstances.  All youth that participate in this
program will receive intensive case management, in which they will
report to a youth transition counselor at least once a week.  Yout

work on developing the skills they need to be self-sufficient,
self-confident and ready to join the workforce.
