By pairing trained legal professionals who are willing to donate their time and services, with children and their families, TIP strives to decrease absenteeism rates and provide families with the resources and services necessary to ensure good attendance and success in school.  TIP volunteers not only contribute their time to serve as legal counsel in juvenile court proceedings, but also serve as caring advocates and mentors for the child and family.  Serving needy school age children who are at risk of school failure, TIP is now a thriving partnership among the Atlanta Bar, the Fulton County Juvenile Court and Kids in Need of Dreams, Inc (KIND, Inc.)
