Mission

Posse Atlanta is a program site of The Posse Foundation - a national top college access and leadership development program. The Posse model benefits both students and college campuses and is rooted in the belief that a small, diverse group of talented students - a posse - carefully selected and trained, can serve as a catalyst for enhanced individual and community development. Posse identifies high-achieving students from underrepresented backgrounds, sends them to elite colleges and universities, supports them through graduation, and cultivates them as leaders capable of generating consensus solutions to the complex problems of America's increasingly pluralistic society.
