Till (DVD PG-13)
Till is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till Mobley's relentless pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, who, in 1955, was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie's poignant journey of grief turned to action, we see the universal power of a mother's ability to change the world.

Family Learning Workshop: This workshop is aimed at parents/caregivers and children in grades PreK-12. It offers basic digital literacy skills and helps families navigate educational resources, as well as engage with their child’s education in a digital environment. Free or low-cost internet resources are also provided.
Tier II: Wellness, These workshops are for returning learners who have already completed Tier I, own their own laptop, and possess basic computer skills.
Telehealth: This workshop is conducted in partnership with the Georgia Hospital Association and its affiliates. Each session focuses on a different area of medicine, helping learners become more comfortable using telehealth resources on their laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. The classes are hybrid, allowing participants to join either in person or virtually.
Financial Literacy: These classes will be available starting in the spring and are led by financial planners, banks, credit unions, and other experts.
