This summer, Georgia Power employees teamed up with local organizations to host backpack and supply drives aimed at supporting families in need. Spearheaded by 15 Citizens Chapters across the state, these grassroots efforts gathered more than 2,800 backpacks filled with essential school supplies like pencils and notebooks, directly benefiting 20 different school districts.
The Georgia Power Foundation, driven by a commitment to emPowering Education, backed these initiatives with the goal of fostering a brighter future. Through investments in educational programming and resources, it aims to ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) among students. By engaging teachers with innovative tools and hands-on activities, the Foundation sets the stage for the next generation of learners to thrive.
To cultivate a knowledgeable future workforce, the Georgia Power Foundation invests significantly in educational resources. These efforts include providing engaging activities and materials that align with the Georgia Standards of Excellence, ensuring that teachers and students alike have the tools they need to succeed.
Through these collaborative efforts, Georgia Power employees are not just giving back; they’re helping to create a supportive environment where education can thrive. It’s all about building a brighter future for students across Georgia, one backpack at a time.
