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!

Applications are due September 13. Applications can be found at https://www.trrcobbhouse.org/junior-board-1.
