Panelists

Adrienne Carter

- STEM Educator


As a 30-year veteran educator, I have been a proponent of STEM education since the beginning of my career. Sharing my love for mathematics, and my passionate belief that all children can do math, I always look for ways to make the math real to my students by incorporating STEM activities in the classroom.


Vivian Broner

- Seedplanter


The many facets of the life of Vivian Broner brings a gamut of experiences that will greatly benefit teens. She completed 26 years of service with Delta Airlines and 10 years with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta which often submerged her in diverse social, economic and cultural backgrounds. She integrates that exposure, along with various experiences to empower young teens to maximize their talents and abilities to achieve their dreams and goals.


Meet our Founder,

Sharlene Sanders

Sharlene is a visionary leader with a remarkable track record of over 30

years in serving Georgia communities. Throughout her illustrious career at the

State of Georgia Department of Human Resources, she has consistently

created impactful community resources.


Sharlene's achievements include spearheading the WorkFirst Initiative, endorsed by Former President Bill Clinton's Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act.


Her visionary approach led to the implementation of a transformative Community Resource Outreach Project, empowering social services recipients with self sufficiency skills. Dr. David Satcher recognized her for the partnership that provided over 50 women with full-time employment at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and broke the cycle of welfare dependency.


Additionally, she oversaw two rehabilitation transitional supportive housing projects for women grappling with substance abuse and mental health challenges, earning an Outstanding Community Outreach award for the East Point Georgia project. This initiative enabled women to conquer their challenges, regain custody of their

children, and enhance their self sufficiency.
