Parent Mentor
Sarah Young has served the Columbia County School District (CCSD) as the Parent Mentor for the Department of Special Education Services since August 2024. Sarah has three children who have been enrolled in CCSD schools since 2014. Her youngest, Stephen, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of four, and Sarah says from their first meeting going into the second grade, her goal for him was to “graduate on time with his peers,” which they have done successfully to date.
Sarah collaborates with the district's Special Education Services staff, providing additional support for parents in navigating their child's learning experience. The goal of the Parent Mentor is to enhance each child's ability to reach their full potential by working together with parents and teachers.
