The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Welcomes its Fourth Class of Students to The Legacy Project
2024年3月8日 - 1:31AM
Developed through The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation and The
Hagedorn Legacy Foundation, The Legacy Project is proud to welcome
its fourth cohort for the class of 2027. Its mission is to empower
youth, through possibility thinking and innovative problem-solving,
for greater personal freedom, social mobility, and the betterment
of their communities.
This is the largest Legacy cohort to date with 29 students who
attend Whitehall City Schools in Columbus, Ohio.
“When we started The Legacy Project, we had a goal to not only
positively impact our first class of students, but also to make it
sustainable so we could help kids year after year,” said Sue
Hagedorn, chair of the Hagedorn Legacy Foundation. “As we welcome
the fourth class, it makes me proud of the students, coaches and
everyone who brings grit to the project every day.”
The Legacy Project develops students through a multi-discipline
curriculum. During their four years in the program, students are
challenged through character strength and entrepreneurial mindset
development, financial literacy management and customized
goal-pursuit. The program also provides a $20,000 scholarship to
each student to be used for post-secondary education.
“My favorite part about The Legacy Project is the great people
you get to meet, not just students, but also coaches and everyone
who invests in us,” said Jacob Perry, student in the program. “They
help plan your way to a great future.”
Students meet regularly with their coaches with support from
program partners, including The Ohio State University Keenan Center
for Entrepreneurship, Global Financial Partners, and Whitehall City
Schools.
“We’re honored to continue the success of The Legacy Project
with this year’s new class of students,” said Brian Herrington,
president of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation. “It’s incredible to
watch the students take part in career and life experiences that
help shape their future success.”
The newest class of students started their Legacy Project
journey during this current school year. The Legacy Project has
successfully graduated two cohorts of students.
