Community Foundation for the CSRA

The team took a trip over to ARC and popped in on an Elevate Augusta class where students were on their 2nd lesson in workforce readiness, discussing cover letters. We heard from Teacher-Mentors about the ways the class has impacted the students directly. One student expressed that the exposure to mentors has been life-changing, while another shared that the non-judgmental support allows her to ask more questions and discover new things about herself.

The program teaches life skills through mentorship in a credit-earning classroom setting, then provides opportunities for students to practice those skills by serving as mentors themselves to students in local elementary and middle schools.

There’s something special happening behind the curtain at Enopion Theatre Company.

This week, we had the chance to step inside their world for a site visit—and what an experience it was. From their charming puppet theater to the incredible behind-the-scenes look at props and costumes, every detail reflects creativity, passion, and a deep commitment to storytelling.

It’s not just about putting on a show—it’s about creating moments of wonder for our community, especially for young audiences experiencing theater for the first time.

We’re proud to support organizations like Enopion that are bringing imagination to life right here in the CSRA.
