“Three community organizations have directly benefited from this project, but countless families will benefit from the work these students have done,” said Karin VanZant, a human services systems instructor.
Winners will be announced at the inaugural celebration of the student philanthropy project at Antioch University’s National City Auditorium at 6 p.m. March 19.
“I was able to strengthen my leadership skills, work directly with community agencies, and be a part of contributing towards high-quality programs implemented in the community,” said student Becky Evemy.
The grant specified recipients must be nonprofits that focus on children and youth programs, neighborhood development and revitalization or hunger, homelessness and health issues.
“I am so proud of the students for all of their hard work this quarter,” VanZant said. “They took an idea of a project and developed a full-scale student philanthropy project in less than five weeks.”
