Fueling the season with kindness! GCAPP’s Youth Advisory Council (YAC) stopped by Arabia Mountain High School in DeKalb County to surprise the football players and cheerleaders with Gatorade and snacks as they prepare for their first game of the season! This visit was extra special because two of our YAC members proudly attend Arabia Mountain High School, making this act of kindness even more meaningful. Through our #KIND30 initiative, we’re showing that even small acts of encouragement can make a big impact. Wishing the Rams an incredible season—we’re cheering you on every step of the way! #GCAPP #YouthAdvisoryCouncil #YAC #KIND30 ActsOfKindness
