Participants will explore the impact of teamwork on their peers, schools, and Cherokee County. Applicants must be residents or attend school in Cherokee County, exhibit leadership potential, and demonstrate a commitment to effecting positive change in their community. The program, limited to 20 participants, has been active since 2001, with applications available on the chamber's website under the Programs tab.

STORY 3: Cherokee Thanksgiving Feeds Over 2,500
Hundreds of families in Cherokee and Pickens counties received Thanksgiving meals Thursday thanks to a local nonprofit. With support from Williamson Brothers BBQ in Canton, Cherokee Thanksgiving served 2,551 meals that were either delivered or picked up at the restaurant, event coordinator Cheryl Mosley said. Every year, Cherokee Thanksgiving prepares meals for people who aren't able to make or buy a Thanksgiving dinner, and for first responders who have to work on the holiday. Each family received a smoked chicken breast, mashed potatoes, green beans, dressing and gravy, a roll and a dessert. Leftover dressing, mashed potatoes and rolls were donated to Atlanta Mission Friday.

STORY 4: Redistricting Special Session Likely to Boost Democrats
Georgia Democrats anticipate improved prospects in upcoming elections following a federal judge's order for the state legislature to redraw legislative and congressional lines. The judge ruled that the existing maps, drawn by the Republican majority in 2021, overlooked significant population growth among minorities since 2010. Democrats are likely to gain ground, with the mandate to add one Black majority congressional district, two Georgia Senate districts, and five state House seats. Although Republicans lost seats in the 2022 elections, they retained solid majorities in both chambers, making immediate Democratic control unlikely. The special session for redistricting is expected to be brief.
STORY 5: Cherokee County Juvenile Court Receives Over $740,000 in Grant Funding
Cherokee County Juvenile Court has been awarded $741,504 in federal grants to establish a Family Treatment Court and enhance the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court. A $363,847 three-year grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will help establish the Family Treatment Court, focusing on families facing dependency allegations due to parental substance abuse. The court aims to provide evidence-based substance abuse treatment, parenting services, and expedited support for families. Additionally, a $377,657 two-year grant will enhance services for youth aged 14 to 17 with nonviolent drug charges through the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court program, focusing on reducing recidivism.
