Samford Foundation, Lee-Scott Academy partner to teach students philanthropy - OANow.com: Auburn: Most rising high school seniors spend their summer by the pool or at the beach. But more than a dozen local students chose to spend three weeks of their summer in class, participating in Philanthropy 101, a three-week summer program at Lee-Scott Academy that combines classroom learning with hands-on community experience.
“In those three weeks, our goal is to expose these students to as many nonprofit organizations in our area that provide a service to our community in some way,” said Christy Garner, a Lee-Scott teacher who has taught the course at the school for seven years. “The ambitious goal we have is that, through learning at this age, they then will be servants for the rest of their lives.”
