Truancy Intervention Project Georgia, Inc.

Truancy Intervention Project Georgia, Inc. Our mission is to empower Georgia’s youth through strategic partnerships with schools, courts, and communities.

We are dedicated to enhancing educational and life outcomes and fostering a future rich with opportunities that uplift Georgia communities. Since 1991, Truancy Intervention Project (TIP) Georgia has partnered with schools, courts, and communities to help students and families address the causes of truancy and create pathways to brighter futures. Alongside our dedicated volunteers, community partne

rs, and advocates, we work relentlessly to break generational cycles rooted in inequity and shift the narrative on absenteeism—one “marked present” at a time. TIP provides pro bono legal representation and advocacy for students facing chronic absenteeism, along with prevention services, individualized support for students and families, and programming to drive systemic change. We Believe:

🎒 There’s a story behind every absence. 'Stay in school' is easier said than done when a child is navigating harsh realities like unstable conditions, a lack of basic necessities, and mental health struggles.

📚 Truancy is a symptom of societal shortcomings. We must collectively tackle the root causes, not just the surface issues, to create lasting change.

👩‍👧‍👦 Families deserve support, not judgement. Compassion and understanding are the foundations of real progress, opening doors to collaboration and positive outcomes between students, families, and schools.

🙌 Even small wins are big. Every day a child is in school is a day they gain not just education but structure, stability, and support. We work to move each child forward, one day at a time.

School is already in session across Georgia — but for too many students, the barriers to showing up consistently are just beginning.

Right now, students are facing challenges like lack of transportation, clothing, stable housing, and other basic support that can keep them out of the classroom.

It’s not too late to make a difference.

A gift to TIP today helps remove those barriers so more students can get to school, stay engaged, and keep moving forward this year.

Please give now to help a student stay on track. 🎒

National Nonprofit Day celebrates organizations that bridge gaps where systems fall short. Few demonstrate that impact more clearly than student advocacy and educational access. 📚

​Research links educational attainment to lifetime earnings, health, and civic engagement. Yet, systemic barriers push thousands of Georgia kids out of classrooms every year.

​For 35 years, TIP’s goal has been to move quickly, connect deeply, and deliver lasting impact—working hands-on with families and schools to remove obstacles and keep students engaged.

​None of it is possible without the loyal volunteers, donors, partners, and advocates who strengthen our mission and help clear the path for our youth.

​To everyone who has stood beside us in this work: Thank you! 🌟

Encouraging updates from the Georgia Department of Education's end-of-year attendance data!

Chronic absenteeism dropped to 17.7% in the 2025-2026 school year — a new post-pandemic low. Attendance among K-5 students was even stronger, with chronic absenteeism at just 13.5%.

The intentional, collaborative effort to keep kids present and engaged is working.

Let’s keep the momentum going. 🙌

The Georgia Department of Education says public schools have experienced a new post-pandemic low in the rate of chronic absenteeism.

School is back in session across Georgia, and for many students, the new year has begun with hope and possibility.

But for too many, getting to school consistently is still a challenge because of circumstances beyond their control. 💔

A lack of basic necessities and support can quickly turn into chronic absenteeism, academic setbacks, and deeper challenges for students and families.

No student’s potential should be limited by barriers they didn’t ask for.

Nearly a fifth of Georgia students risk falling behind because they lack basic necessities that many take for granted.

A clean change of clothes. A ride to school. Stable housing.

These obstacles are real and can snowball into chronic absenteeism, academic setbacks, and court involvement.

You can help clear the way.

A gift to TIP takes just minutes, but it provides the support a student needs to stay in class and thrive in the new school year.

Back-to-school should mean new notebooks and fresh starts—not court dates or chronic absences. At TIP, we connect students facing economic, social and mental health barriers with advocates, mentors and volunteer attorneys so they can return to school, stay engaged and succeed.

Georgia is showing the rest of the country what’s possible when we make access to education a top priority! 🌟

Did you know our state was one of just 6 to earn a spot in Attendance Works’ "50% Challenge" Deep Dive cohort, in recognition of Georgia’s ongoing commitment to improving student attendance?

In 2025, State School Superintendent Richard Woods committed to the challenge, pledging to reduce our chronic absenteeism rate by 50% over 5 years. Inclusion in the cohort will provide Georgia with customized coaching, strategic planning, cross-state learning opportunities, and enhanced data infrastructure support.

For 35 years, TIP has worked on the ground to dismantle barriers to school attendance. Seeing this level of statewide collaboration and national support is incredibly promising.

We couldn’t be prouder. 🍑
