Click HERE to get an application for the 2008-2009 Program. BUILD
RELATIONSHIPS! Members of Wellspring will get the opportunity
to meet involved upperclassmen students who will lead weekly service
groups in the Jackson community. These groups will only require
about an hour a week (no time at all!) to establish lasting relationships
in the area.
Thinking about healthcare?
Volunteer at Blair E Batson Children’s
hospital!
Ever thought about helping in a soup kitchen? Join the team at
Stewpot!
Interested in environmental issues? Be a part of the campus recycling
initiative!
Love helping kids? Become a mentor in a nearby school!
Want to help the hungry? Volunteer with Gleaners to bring food
from campus to those who need it!
STAND
FOR SOMETHING! Each month Wellspring will choose an issue
(such as AIDS or homelessness) which members of Jackson are facing.
We team up for different months and educate Millsaps on the issue.
We then come together as a community to address the issue through
a project (for example, each member will volunteer an afternoon
to participate in a Habitat for Humanity Build).
GET
INVOLVED! Wellspring is planned and led by upperclassmen who
want to help first year students succeed. Be a part of this caring
community and change the way you view community service!
