Southeast Gwinnett Co-op asking for help

When kids are out of school for summer, co-op needs more than double

Grayson – Laura Drake is passionate about helping her community. Get her talking about the Southeast Gwinnett Co-op, and she can hardly keep up with herself; her excitement and delight with reaching out to families, especially children, in such a tangible way is contagious.

The importance of our community and giving back

“A community free of domestic violence.” That is the vision of the Partnership Against Domestic Violence. Being a fitness professional, I encourage my clients everyday to give their best efforts.”

NG3 is making a difference!!

NG3…because Character Changes Communities. That is the motto. That is the foundational belief for everything NG3 is doing on our high school campuses and in the communities we live in. Everyday another student athlete is being mentored, another member of the next generation is being taught the importance of making the right choices and the effect those choices have on those around them, another life is being shaped.
