The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently awarded Chatham County Together! (CCT!) a three-year grant for the organization’s mentoring programs.
CCT! will use the grant to focus on mentoring youth in Chatham County aged 4-17 who have a parent or parental figure incarcerated in a state or federal institution. CCT! seeks to match 175 youth with mentors over the next three years. To do that, it will need to raise $47,320 in matching funds required by the grant.
CCT! will hold a volunteer orientation at 6 p.m. on Jan. 25 at 208 N. Chatham Ave. in Siler City. For more information, contact Justin Lane at justin@chathamcountytogether.org or 663-0116 or visit chathamcountytogether.org
