Who We Support

We have solutions just for you

We get it, we’re not necessarily for everyone, and that’s okay. We provide services that are tailored to individuals who need an advocate and support system right now. 

Prior Convicted

Every year, nearly 700,000 people are released from American prisons, and an estimated 9 million are released from jail. According to the National Institute of Justice, almost two-thirds of them are arrested again within three years. Our services are here to help you avoid reentering the Georgia penal system.

Veterans

With a deep commitment to empowering veterans, providing employment opportunities, and promoting excellence, GVS has developed our veterans program to bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment.

Family Services

We understand the problems of applying for employment and having your family weigh in the balance. GVS has connected with several local resources that can aid you while you’re looking for employment.

Employers

While we have a heavy emphasis on aiding students, we recognize that there are some eager and empathetic employers looking for certified and committed talent. GVS offers both opportunities for those willing to partner with us.
