PIC recognizes that, sadly, we will be in the same spot years from now if we do not begin to do things differently to support individuals living in under-resourced communities.

Past decades have proven that the problem-focused service model, while vital and necessary in the short term, is inadequate in enabling people to change their long-term trajectory.

PIC offers a new approach, training volunteer coaches to serve as supportive one-to-one partners with adult community members who want to build turnaround strategies for themselves and their families.

Fully realized, Partners in Change seeks to deploy a critical mass of volunteer coaches and create a tipping point in Atlanta’s effort to substantially reduce poverty.
