“If you’re on probation in Georgia, some are required to do a values certification class. We want to be that training camp for people who are on probation.” Anette David-Jackson, administrator of the Street Groomers.
The Atlanta-based Street Groomers activist organization is setting to create change at the level where it’s most obviously needed the streets. Advocating for the homeless, the hungry, the houseless, and the held back, the Street Groomers are aiming to give people on probation a leg up on reintegrating into society with a course that would run over four weeks, requiring one hour every week for attendees. The organization is also crusading for felons on parole with a new class they plan on rolling out this year. Those measures would build on the group’s six-year record of grassroots activism.
