This Year's Beneficiaries

For the upcoming year, the senior class of the Servant Leadership Program at Columbus State University is partnering with Fox Elementary to serve the various neighborhoods of the Mill District community. The Class of 2024 will spend their time, energy, and resources serving the highest priority needs of Fox Elementary. As such, Fox Elementary will be the primary benefactor of the proceeds from this year’s Uptown Tree Trail.

The Seniors want to help increase access to and opportunity for the next generation of Mill District community members by investing the funds they raise to provide programming for students and their families. The Class of 2024 plans to offer resources and workshops for the students and families of Fox Elementary in order to create a better environment for all to learn and grow in various ways.

The Class of 2024 has encompassed its goals for its year-long project with the slogan “Expand, Equip, Expose.” This slogan reflects their desire to increase access to health education and services, opportunities for community engagement and participation, and awareness of the importance of education. The Seniors are committed to partnering with a variety of organizations working to serve the lives of those living in the Mill District community of Columbus, Georgia.
