NEGRC serves the counties of Barrow, Clarke, Elbert, Greene, Jackson, Jasper, Madison, Morgan, Newton, Oconee, Oglethorpe and Walton. Each young person, parent or guardian should call the NEGRC Workforce Development office at (706) 369-5703 or (800) 533-5872. Worksite solicitation packets were mailed April 16 and will be due back to the NEGRC office in mid May.
