 THE CHALLENGE
"Startling Stats"
•Georgia is consistently at or near the bottom of all 50 states in
performance test scores.
•Chatham County, GA averages 700 dropouts each year.
•85% of prison inmates are school dropouts.
Nationwide research shows that mentored children:
•are 52% less likely to skip school
•are 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
•are 27% less likely to begin drinking alcohol
L.O.V.E. believes that improving a child's education
is the foundation for improving quality of life. Classroom
teachers have little opportunity to work one-on-one with
students. The L.O.V.E. mentor always has this luxury, which
adds another dimension to the process.
