The Watson-Brown Foundation Junior Board is currently accepting applications for new members from high school students (grades 10-12) from Banks, Barrow, Clarke, Franklin, Greene, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Jackson, Madison, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Stephens, and Walton counties.
Members learn about historic preservation and philanthropy before reviewing grant applications and going on site visits to look at historic preservation projects that need funding, and then ultimately deciding which organizations will receive funding (up to $33,000). It’s an incredibly unique extracurricular activity that has a real world impact in our community!
The 2024 Athens Water Festival is right around the corner and we are looking for volunteers!
WHAT: The Athens Water Festival is an annual family event celebrating all things water. Attendees splash, play, and learn with hands-on water activities. This year’s theme is “LEGOs”—a timeless classic toy! VisitAthensWaterFestival.com for more details and to see pictures from previous years.

WHERE: Sandy Creek Park (400 Bob Holman Road), near the large pavilion/Community Building.
WHO: Anyone with a positive attitude can volunteer for the Water Festival! Volunteers will assist with event set-up and breakdown, man various stations, and facilitate water activities for attendees.
