Family Connections Coordinator Addresses Towns Democrats

 Karen Nicholson of Towns County Family Connection was guest speaker at the Nov. 13, 2025, meeting of the Towns County Democrats along with Angela Hunnicut. 

As youth coordinator, Nicholson facilitates the Family Connection mentor program.  The program connects members of the Towns County community with local students who could benefit from a caring advisory relationship.

The commitment of being a mentor requires one hour each week from late August until early May.  The ages of students - who participate with their parents' permission - range from kindergarten to high school.

All volunteers must pass a background check, including fingerprinting for which Family Connection pays.

Towns Countians interested in serving as mentors should contact Nicholson at (706) 896-4131, extension 1235, or knicholson@townscountyschools.org.
