I had such a rewarding experience volunteering at the Stone Mountain Community Garden with Spelman College’s Philosophy Club. Being able to give back through hands-on service reminded me how powerful community-centered work can be.

During our time in the garden, I helped harvest beds, weed, and plant herbs and vegetables that will directly support the community food bank. It was incredibly fulfilling to know that our efforts are contributing to greater access to fresh, healthy food.

I am grateful for opportunities like this that allow me to connect service, community, and purpose. I look forward to continuing this work and growing alongside such a dedicated group.

This was my first time as a Spelbound sister, and it was truly a full-circle moment! I loved everything about it!

I loved this experience! Helping out the youth and getting to talk about personal growth and confidence healed something in me! I would love to continue this service in the future.

I loved the opportunity to learn from the doctors and panelists in the health field and hear about their journeys. It was a refreshing experience and helped me develop both short-term and long-term goals in medicine. A special thank you to Dr. Lee for taking the time to have such a great one-on-one conversation with me!

This was my second time volunteering for Spelman Garden and I wholeheartedly believe this was my calling! Ms. Tasha is super interactive and brings such a warm feeling while working!

I loved the experience and working in nature! I can’t wait to continue volunteering here!
