In this month’s episode of First Friday with Georgetown County, we’re shining a light on the programs and people helping our community grow stronger and more connected.

First, Jonathan Branch from the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office shares an update on the department's Re-entry Program, a successful initiative that’s reducing recidivism and giving returning citizens the tools to rebuild their lives.

Next, Beth Goodale, Parks and Recreation Director, and Jason Walters, Recreation Manager, discuss the department’s new Sportsmanship Initiative—a program designed to rekindle community enthusiasm for youth and high school sports through a revitalized football feeder program that’s already seeing results.

Finally, Randy Akers, Multimedia Specialist, walks us through the audio-visual upgrades transforming the County Council Chambers, improving transparency and accessibility for residents who tune into meetings.

It’s all about innovation, collaboration and community pride—right here in Georgetown County.
