Ladders Program: Cohort #1 Update

The Georgia Public Defense Foundation is excited to announce that 5 Ladders Program participants have been accepted into Atlanta Technical College (ATC) and are currently working to obtain a certification in their chosen area of study. An additional 4 participants are enrolled in the Atlanta Technical College Adult Education GED program and will first earn their GED before enrolling in a certificate course at ATC.

We’re proud of the progress of this first cohort of Ladders Program participants and will continue to support their journey as they transcend their current circumstances.
