Ohio State faculty are teaching students philanthropy, the value of volunteering, and the impact charitable organizations have on our community, and thanks in part to a recent grant award, they are reinforcing a valuable life lesson, “it is better to give than receive.”
English faculty from The Ohio State University at Marion and their students were recently awarded a 2012 Ohio State Outreach and Engagement Impact Grant in the amount of $10,250 for their Pay It Forward Marion project.
I have always had a drive to serve others and work for the common good. But I never fully realized that I could go beyond volunteerism--that my opinion and hard work could influence policy decisions. My views changed when I sat in the office of one of my legislators in Washington, DC.
