  1. Hello my name is Ms. Nolen. I am the Director/Barber Educator at Gateway to Independence Detention Home, I am seeking volunteers to come out and mentor these young men if anyway possible. My job is to teach a trade/skill: however I know we as a village can teach them a lot more than this, so Im requesting if this sounds like something your organization may be interested in please feel free to contact 678-643-6644 at your earliest convenience, if no answer leave a message.

    Thanks for your time and consideration.
