About Us

In 1991, Dawson County was one of 15 Georgia counties that volunteered to participate in a two year program created by Gov. Zell Miller responding to the release of the Annie E. Casey Foundation inaugural KIDS COUNT report in 1990 to track the status of children in the United States. This report placed Georgia 48th out of 50 states in regards to it’s children’s well-being. The pilot was called Georgia Family Connection.

Today, Dawson County Family Connection is one of 159 county collaborations under Georgia Family Connection, all committed to the mission of improving conditions for at-risk children, families, and communities.

Our Mission:

Providing leadership through collaboration with all segments of the community for the well-being of families and children.

Our Vision:

All children in Dawson County will have the opportunity to become successful, contributing, productive, and self-sustaining adults.
