En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate honoring Raising Expectations, a nonprofit that has served more than 3,500 youth from under-resourced backgrounds over 30 years. The resolution describes the organization's programs, which follow students from middle school through college and into the workforce, and highlights enrichment offerings like summer workforce programs, a real estate enrichment program, and literacy initiatives. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply has the Senate formally congratulate and commend the organization and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to Raising Expectations as a keepsake.
