Celebrating Students Serving Our Community
Columbus Rotary, Columbus City Schools and FIRSTLINK sponsor an annual High School "Service Above Self" Fair for students in Columbus City Schools.
The Fair is a celebration of our youth and their accomplishments for their school and community. The Fair supports the students in developing their community service projects throughout the school year. It also enables students to share their projects with more than 300 Columbus business and professional leaders every May in the Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
The Fair aims to:
- recognize and honor the students who conduct community service projects
- encourage the students to identify and work on service activities where their time and talents will have the most impact, and
- use the examples of successful projects to motivate and inspire other students.
Finding a Community Partner
To help Columbus City Schools students to devote their efforts to meaningful service activities, students and teachers are invited to download the pdf titled High School Fair Part II. This document allows readers to browse FIRSTLINK's database of organizations with which students can work to develop community service projects.
Exploring Ideas for Projects
Looking for fresh ideas? Students and teachers working to develop their own meaningful service activities are invited to browse the summaries of projects exhibited at previous Service Above Self Fairs.
