Atlanta Children's Day Shelter is building pathways to long-term self-sufficiency for families experiencing homelessness. With support from Apparo’s Tech Therapy®, they are now doing that work more efficiently and with better data. By optimizing Salesforce and digitizing intake and screening forms, Apparo helped the organization move away from paper packets and manual data entry. The result is clearer reporting, faster enrollment, and measurable time savings for staff. 🗨️ “Apparo was a godsend,” said Kathryn Lea, Family Services Director. “This put us on the path toward usable Salesforce data and long-term efficiency.” We are proud to support Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter alongside skilled corporate volunteers, helping ensure technology works as a tool, not a barrier.

We recently partnered with Queen City Scholars to support the organization in identifying a tool that helps high-achieving, under-resourced students explore life after high school and understand how today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s outcomes. With support from #skilledvolunteers at Weisiger Group, the team assessed needs, researched solutions, and selected #Outgrow as the best fit. This new platform will help scholars engage in clearer, more impactful lessons, track progress over time, and spark deeper conversations with mentors. It also strengthens Queen City Scholars’ ability to tell their story, supporting anticipated program growth and increased donor engagement. 🖥️ Thank you, Weisiger Group for sponsoring and delivering this Community Impact Project, and to Queen City Scholars for the work they do to prepare first-generation students for success in college and beyond.
