The Campus Community Partnership Foundation is holding the Carolyn Young Mentor Walk Saturday to address the state's dropout problem.

Elementary school students and their parents will be paired with college students and other adults. The goal is for adults to talk with the children about the importance of their education and encourage them to succeed.

The event begins at 8 a.m. at Agnes Scott College. For information: mentorwalk.org.
