TRU-IMPACT

Leadership

Georgia Park

After graduation from Clemson University in 1978 (where she was involved in several leadership organizations), Georgia moved to Jacksonville, Florida, to be the first female professional in that office of Ernst & Ernst CPA’s.  She specialized in tax accounting and worked for a fortune 500 company based in Jacksonville.

Georgia married in 1982, and she and her husband of 25 years have four children.

While staying home to raise her children, Georgia became involved as a volunteer in Duval County Schools, serving on 3 PTA Boards over an 8 year period.  During this time she also volunteered in the children and youth groups of her church. Through a local YMCA, she became involved with teaching character and leadership skills to at- risk teens. Her past experiences, her passion to see youth make good choices in the culture they are immersed, and realizing the need for an interactive value- based curriculum in the public schools led her to develop the TRU-IMPACT curriculum.  In the 2007/2008 school year, Georgia is involved in teaching her curriculum to over 1500 Duval County students.
