Cherokee FOCUS is a 501(c)3 collaborative that exists to improve the lives of the children and families of Cherokee County. The collaborative is a partnership of organizations, agencies civic clubs, the faith based community, law enforcement, business, education, families and individuals. These partners bring their skills, expertise and resources to the table to create and develop programs and initiatives designed to support families and children through a means that could not be accomplished by one agency or individual alone.
The Cherokee FOCUS collaborative is a member of the Georgia Family Connection Partnership. As part of this network of 159 county collaboratives, Cherokee FOCUS is able to partner in statewide efforts for positive results while focusing on the specific needs of our community youth and families.
