Upcoming non-profit expo organized solely by local teens – The Newnan Times-Herald Coweta Community Foundation Community Service Team members worked together to organize the county’s first nonprofit fair to take place Oct.

The Coweta Community Foundation (CCF) Community Service Team members have outdone themselves, according to foundation board member and retired educator, Cynthia Bennett.

Earlier this year, the service team, which is made up of students from local high schools, was tasked with organizing a fall event that would allow community members to learn more about CCF and the several local nonprofits the organization supports.

Established by the CCF in late 2015, the service team project was the first of its kind in the county and was created to provide local youth opportunities to learn and work with a nonprofit organization in the community.

“We are essentially building our next generation of CCF board members and Coweta nonprofit board members,” explained CCF Chairman Ginger Jackson-Queener in an earlier interview. The local teen explained that her involvement with the team has allowed her to establish relationships she never expected to develop with community members. 13, the following nonprofit organizations will offer a booth with organization representatives and information at the upcoming Coweta Community Foundation nonprofit expo, “Indulge in our Community.”
