I've just finished some changes to the list of agencies approved for community service credit in the Midland's Legacy Scholarship Program at MC. I updated the current listing for Midland Rape Crisis Center & Children's Advocacy Center, and added two new agencies to the list - Family Promise of Midland, and the I-20 Nature Preserve.
IMHO, there are few examples that better illustrate Midland's community spirit, than the Midland's Legacy Scholarship Program at MC. The program is a collaborative funding partnership between the Abell-Hanger Foundation, the Helen Greathouse Charitable Trust, and the Chaparral Foundation that creates educational opportunities at Midland College for high school graduates in Midland County. A key eligibility requirement for the Legacy Scholarship includes the students' performance of forty (40) hours of community service per academic year at an approved Legacy Volunteer Service Agency ... take a look at this list of approved agencies ... it's impressive.
As I said in the title for this post, this really is a win-win-win situation for all involved. Midland County high school grads can earn the tuition they need to enter college, MC benefits by having a campus full of young people who not only acquire a first-rate education, but also a first-hand experience with community services. And non-profit agencies throughout the community have benefited from thousands of hours of volunteer service.
Summer is a GREAT time for current high school students in Midland County to start building their community service credits. For more information on the Midland's legacy Scholarship Program at MC, please contact Julia Vickery at (432) 685-4704 or jvickery@midland.edu
