Being a parent anywhere is never easy.

We want to support you as you support your child in becoming the most successful and happiest version of themselves. That's why we researched which factors make a child in coastal Georgia most likely to succeed, and which preventable risks are most likely to pull a young person off a successful path. In that spirit, we created the Parent Pledge to help increase those chances of success and reduce those risks.

The pledge isn't a catch-all, but it's a great reminder of what you can do and how our community can help create the best environment for kids to thrive.

Please join us by taking the pledge and staying connected with our Healthy Youth Initiative in South Georgia.

You are the best source of information, and we know that. Don't be shy about reaching out if you feel something is missing or if there's more we can do to help.
