Truancy Intervention Project, Inc.
(Truancy Intervention Project, Inc. (TIP) ) is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization serving children ages 5 to 15 declared truant in the Atlanta City and Fulton County public school systems. Founded in 1991 TIP, previously named Kids in Need of Dreams, Inc. (KIND), provides positive intervention services to children reported as truant. It offers at-risk children a second chance at success by pairing them with trained volunteers from the community.
TIP exists as a result of collaboration among various entities, including the Fulton County juvenile court, the Atlanta public school system, The Fulton County public school system, a volunteer base, and community partners (e.g., United Parcel Service, Georgia Bar Association, Families First, Alston & Bird LLP, King and Spalding LLP, etc...)
==Overview==
Initially, participants in TIP were first-time truants referred to the program as a result of a referral from the Fulton County Juvenile Court, but now, every child who is referred to the court for truancy is paired with a TIP volunteer. Since 2001, TIP has also served children at the school level through its ''Early Intervention'' initiative, pairing children and families with volunteers to assist in rectifying the attendance issues before a court referral becomes necessary. Providing children at risk of school failure with volunteer advocates increases their exposure to many social services and other resources, increasing their opportunity for success. Along with preventing school failure, these efforts combat the consequences that go along with it as well. Teen pregnancy, crime, and welfare dependence are all addressed through the mentoring and enrichment programs that TIP provides. More than 300 trained volunteers, both attorneys and non-attorneys, give their time and skills to help these children stay in school.
Since January 1992, thousands of children have been placed in the program. This includes children who have been chronically absent from school and charged with ''Truancy'' or, due to their age (11 or younger), their parents have been held responsible for the child's absenteeism and are charged with ''Educational Neglect''.
