Alumni, Community, Students

The Thompson and Charter Scholars in Action Day of Service is the First Annual event designed to bring together Thompson and Charter Scholars for a unified day of giving back. Inspired by the generosity and vision of Bob and Ellen Thompson, this day is more than a volunteer experience. It is a celebration of leadership, education, and the shared responsibility we have to uplift the communities around us.

This Day of Service highlights what happens when students come together with a common purpose. It allows scholars to step into real-world impact, build meaningful relationships with local organizations, and demonstrate the values of service and stewardship that the Thompsons modeled so well. By serving side by side, students not only support community needs but also discover their own capacity to lead, collaborate, and create positive change.
