As students across Georgia head back to school, we’re looking back at a special visit from the students of Reach for Excellence this summer.

📚 This summer, they visited our Chamblee Service Center to learn about SVdP through hands-on volunteering experience packing snack packs and veterans boxes in our food pantry. They also got a behind-the-scenes look at how nonprofits work. Students teamed up to explore how an organization’s mission and vision statement shape its work and communication efforts, then put what they learned to the test by creating nonprofit ideas of their own. Reach for Excellence helps talented metro Atlanta middle school students with limited resources build the academic, leadership and social skills they need to thrive in high school, college and beyond. We loved seeing these young leaders bring their creativity and curiosity to SVdP and other non-profit initiatives and we wish them success in the school year ahead! 🎒 #backtoschool #academicexcellence #nonprofit #volunteer #leadership
