In our ongoing quest to close the opportunity gap, we have established Opportunity Partnership, a new mentoring program that pairs third graders from the Decatur Housing Authority community with an adult mentor, who will serve as a matchmaker between the student and the enrichment opportunities that exist in our community, to explore their interests and develop useful life skills.
