Partners
in Education
The Cobb Chamber of Commerce's Partners in Education
program matches businesses and organizations with
schools to provide volunteer support, extra funding
or unique services matched to the school's needs.
Partners in Education’s
vision is to enrich the learning experience for
Cobb’s children so that all learners will
engage in life-long learning that will develop both
a strong academic foundation and skills and values
to successfully engage in community life and a career.
