&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:26px;"&gt;Technical education has long been considered a secondary educational option, but it shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be. We will be comparing the costs, time commitments, and outcomes of a traditional, 4 year University education to that of a Technical education, so you can make an informed decision on which path is right for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

On average, youth begin dating as early as 13, so it's important that young people know what is a "healthy" relationship, and what isn't. Teen Summit is PADV's premier conference-style opportunity for young people and adults to learn how to become effective community allies for survivors of dating violence, as well as collaborate to end dating violence in their communities. 

The 2020 Virtual Teen Summit, “2020 Vision: See and Believe”, will explore what it means to identity dating violence, believe in change, and act to end dating violence within communities. The event will be filled with workshops, panels and discussions that will:
• Equip teens with the tools to recognize and overcome unhealthy gender norms and expectations that lead to toxic relationships and dating violence.
• Show teens how to develop healthy relationships themselves and learn how to become positive role models in their communities.
• Inspire teens to transform their community into one that is equal and safe, regardless of their gender.

A child of the South, she was seen as a traitor to the South for her stance on racial and gender equity.  A friend of Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King, Jr., she used her fame after writing a bestselling novel (Strange Fruit) to denounce the toxic social conditions that repressed the lives and imaginations of both blacks and whites.  With her lifelong partner Paula Snelling, she educated privileged white girls at her summer camp in north Georgia and tried to open their minds to a world of compassion and creativity.

This fundraiser event is free and will bring together corporate and community leaders, as well as PADV’s local and national supporters, to help raise awareness of domestic violence.

This year is the first time the Hearts With Hope Gala will be hosted virtually due to safety concerns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. PADV is encouraging participation and donations this year because police departments, emergency rooms and PADV’s 24-hour crisis hotline have seen a substantial increase in the rates and severity of domestic violence in part due to the coronavirus pandemic. All of these critical services and resources PADV provides to domestic violence victims are needed more than ever.

The virtual Gala will feature a silent and live auction, compelling speakers and entertainment. Auction details include a wide-range of luxurious items, including a seven-night getaway in a private beach house in beautiful Santa Rose Beach, Florida; 24 tickets and six parking passes to an Atlanta Braves home game during the 2021 season, along with a $1,000 credit towards food; and more. Participants can also bid on this year’s Golden Ticket Prize, a table for six for a 2021 event at the Chastain Park Amphitheatre.

For more information and to register for the Hearts with Hope Gala, visit heartswithhopegala.org/.

PADV is an organization that has served metro Atlanta since 1977 and is currently the largest nonprofit domestic violence agency in Georgia. Its mission is to end the crime of intimate partner violence and empower its survivors. PADV helps to transform the lives of approximately 20,000 women and children every year through emergency intervention, education, violence prevention and long-term advocacy.  

Event chair Pallavi Gor is in charge of planning the event, raising funds and selecting special honorees for the event.
