About CCT Chatham County Together!'s mission is to encourage "at risk" youth and young adults to become healthy, self-sufficient, and contributing members of society by: Tutoring: students who need academic support are matched with volunteers, who may tutor on site at school or in the community Family Advocacy: staff works with young people and families referred by the Office of Juvenile Services to learn valuable skills to have improved outcomes in school, at home and in the community. Teen Pregnancy Prevention: staff provides valuable information and teaches skills to parents so they learn to communicate effectively with their adolescents about risk taking behaviors. Guided Growth: youth on waiting list for a volunteer participate in a variety of activities that includes field trips, art workshops, community service, and dance classes. Drop Out Prevention: staff works with students, schools and families to improve grades, attendance and access to internships, apprenticeships and job placement. Chatham New School ( no longer funded ): an alternative education program for long term suspended students from Chatham County Schools. Home Based Services, Family Support Services ( no longer funded ): staff provided intensive services in homes of young people. Today, the eleven-member CCT! staff has merged offices ( previously in Pittsboro and Siler City ), to one central office in Siler City but the services remain county-wide and extend into the far corners of Chatham. All CCT! services adhere to best practice standards and are recognized by local social, educational and judicial service providers as being vital to the citizens and youth in Chatham County. Chatham County Together! still believes Mentoring makes a Difference and will continue reaching out to one child at a time. Chatham County Together 208 N. Chatham Ave., Siler City, NC map 919.663.0116
