SERVING COLUMBUS: LEARN, SHARE, INSPIRE
Through a partnership with the Columbus Rotary and HandsOn Central Ohio, high school students in Columbus City Schools participated in a service-learning project in 2011-12 that documented the breadth and impact of service organizations in Columbus.
Service Organizations
Eighty-eight service organizations participated in the Serving Columbus project. Organizations provided guest speakers for the classroom and hosted on-site visitations for Serving Columbus classes.
