The mission of East Cobb Branch is to provide extracurricular opportunities for members to develop leadership skills, build characters, and provide service to schools and communities. We hope to improve our community and culture by advocating volunteering and implementing existing projects – musical performance, academic tutoring, after school assistance, help hands, etc.
The East Cobb Branch encourages students with the same belief to join in, together, we go further. Every member, every hour contribution, and every project steaming from our branch will no doubt make the world a better place, and we are ready to tackle any challenge and leave our footprints on the world.
