Get Involved!
Wellspring is planned and led by upperclassmen who want to help first year students succeed. Be a part of this caring community and change the way you view community service!

Build Relationships!
Members of Wellspring will get the opportunity to meet involved upperclassmen students who will lead weekly service groups in the Jackson community. These groups will only require about an hour a week (no time at all!) to establish lasting relationships in the area.

Stand for Something!
Each month Wellspring will choose an issue (such as AIDS or homelessness) faced by members of the Jackson community. We team up each month and educate Millsaps on the issue. We then come together as a community to address the issue through a project (for example, each member will volunteer an afternoon to participate in a Habitat for Humanity Build or other project).
