The Truancy Intervention Project serves children involved with the Fulton County Juvenile Court in pending truancy and educational neglect cases, as well as in early intervention cases in metro Atlanta elementary schools. Volunteers work with the children and their families to provide the necessary guidance and resources to help ensure their attendance and success in school. Training includes how TIP works; role of the TIP volunteer; ethics and advocacy; courtroom procedures; and a mock hearing.
