ENGAGE Georgia is a statewide program funded by the Department of Education and offered to Georgia's local education agencies (LEAs) to assist schools and families with school engagement by providing intensive outreach, engagement, and enhanced support for eligible students in grades K–12.

Program Overview

  • Participating LEAs refer eligible students to the ENGAGE Georgia team.

  • ENGAGE Outreach Counselors reach out to students and their families using every tool in our toolbelt — phone, email, text message, social media, and U.S. mail.

  • When we connect with the family, our outreach team will assess their needs and offer them the support of an Academic Success Coach for the duration of the program. There is no cost to them or to you for this support.

  • We will report back to you about our progress and interactions with your students through a dashboard, which is updated weekly.

Program Feedback

“Any additional resource we can use to help our students and families is excellent. The issue we are seeing is no matter how much we do for some students we are not seeing results. However, the additional resources and help is a great piece to add.”

“The program helped the students they were able to reach, and even if only one student benefited, it was good. We had a senior that graduated due to the program, so it was well worth it.”

“The ENGAGE program has helped me become a better student. My Academic Success Coach has helped me be more motivated and excited about learning. They are extremely helpful and always want to know other ways they can help. They are always encouraging me to do better than yesterday! I am extremely grateful I have the help from this program!”
