LAWRENCEVILLE,
GA – The Gwinnett Braves have announced the recipient of their
$1,000 grant for the month of June. Lindsay’s Legacy
Mentoring, Inc. has been awarded June’s “Summer Safety” themed
grant, aimed at assisting organizations that fund or run safety
programs for children.
Lindsay’s
Legacy Mentoring began serving students in Jackson County schools in
2005 under the direction of Jackson County Family Connection.
In March of 2013, LLM branched out and became a youth-serving
non-profit organization dedicated to friendship-based mentoring
throughout Jackson County. The
goal of LLM is to guide children and youth toward personal and
academic success through mentoring and friendship. The grant money
awarded by the G-Braves will be used for mentor training,
informational brochures and activity supplies in hopes to continue
the ongoing growth of the program.
“We accomplish our mission by pairing volunteers who are positive adult role models with carefully selected students in need of a mentoring relationship,” said Lisa Stephens, Executive Director of Lindsay’s Legacy Mentoring. “Lindsay’s Legacy Mentoring uses an effective friendship-based mentoring model and partners closely with three school systems in Jackson County, GA. Through training, screening and follow up, mentors are able to identify the needs of students they serve. Since the humble beginning in 2005 by a handful of caring citizens, Lindsay’s Legacy mentors have impacted the lives of thousands of students in Jackson County. The program provides a safety net that would otherwise not be available to some very deserving students.”
About
Lindsay’s Legacy Mentoring: The organization has been
around for over nine years and is based in Jackson County, GA.
LLM has served over 130 students in the Jackson County, 38 students
in Jefferson City and 32 students in the Commerce City school systems
with caring adult mentorship. The program continues to grow
under the principles of former mentor coordinator Jack Lindsay.
