ABOUT US

The Georgia Institute of Professional Studies & Training Corporation (GIPSTC) is a domestic nonprofit organization founded with the mission of providing educational services and empowering youth in underserved and underrepresented communities. We are committed to delivering high-quality education, career-ready skills, and youth development programs to help individuals overcome challenges and unlock their full potential.
At the heart of GIPSTC’s success is our dedicated team, led by Mr. Henry Mathis, a Senior Instructor at Albany State University, along with a group of experienced professionals. Our team is supported by a strong network of volunteers, individuals who generously give their time, talents, and expertise to help drive our initiatives forward. Volunteers are an integral part of our organization, bringing passion, experience, and a commitment to making a lasting impact in the communities we serve.
The GIPSTC team includes:
• Ms. Kalani Brown, an experienced higher education staff member, who works closely with our volunteers to enhance student engagement and support.
Ms. Angela Jetty, a Media Communication Specialist at MARTA, who oversees our volunteer-led outreach and communication efforts.
Mr. Vara Prasad Talari, a Senior IT Manager, who helps lead our volunteer-driven technological initiatives that ensure access to the latest educational tools and resources.
Dr. Santha Jetty, who holds a Doctor of Philosophy in History and a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in higher education administration. With her background teaching at international universities and her eight years of experience as a Georgia educator, Dr. Jetty passionately mentors our volunteers and oversees our educational programs.
Through our volunteer network, GIPSTC continues to provide transformative educational opportunities to underserved communities. Volunteers not only help deliver critical programs but also mentor and inspire the next generation of learners. We believe that by working together, we can create a lasting impact in our communities and equip individuals with the skills they need to succeed in their careers and lives.
