Truancy Intervention Project

to the Juvenile Court as truants from the Atlanta Public and
Fulton County school systems.

In order to meet this goal, TIP pairs truant children with
volunteer attorneys and non-attorneys to provide direct
legal representation at the adjudication and disposition
proceedings in Juvenile Court, and to bring together a myriad
of social and community resources to help the truant and
his or her family.
Operating in Fulton County since 1992, TIP provides
advocacy and other resources to children and their families
to prevent school failure.
Join TIP on Thursday, October 25 from 8:00-1:00 for a
CLE seminar (4 hours) and learn more. Contact Adrian
