Description
I built the Tiers Free model to save my own children in 2010. My daughter was bullied in school so severely that she experienced a psychotic break and the only way that I knew to save her was to homeschool her. It was the scariest thing I have ever done! But it became the one thing that has truly transformed not only my family but several families and communities too.
In 2017, our foundation became Georgia's only nonprofit alternative diploma provider who works exclusively with homeless LGBTQ youth and sex trafficking survivors.
In 2018, we began a pilot of the Chiefs Diploma Program in all of the police departments in Macon County, Georgia. In 2019, the Chiefs' Diploma Program was added as a component of the Cops in Community initiative.
