                         TRIBUTE TO JUNE O'NEAL

 Mr. OSSOFF. Madam President, I rise to honor a great champion 
for young people across central Georgia.
  June O'Neal serves the executive director of the Mentors Project in 
Macon-Bibb County, which matches mentors with young people across 
central Georgia.
  Founded in 1990 by the Education Committee of the Greater Macon 
Chamber of Commerce, the Mentors Project aims to help young people who 
may be struggling.
  Mentors work with middle and high school students to help them reach 
their full potential, providing guidance, support, and encouragement.
  Ms. O'Neal leads a team of more than 100 mentors and volunteers who 
encourage students to work hard and stay in school, and they have 
dedicated substantial time to give back to others. Today, the program 
has grown to partner with 14 schools in Macon-Bibb County and has 
helped hundreds of young people in middle Georgia.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I recognize and commend June O'Neal for 
her tireless work to support Georgia's youth.
