DEF loves Volunteers! We were happy to attend the 2026 Emory University Community Learning and Social Medicine Community Engagement Day last week. At the event we got to reconnect with our 2 volunteers from last year, Jack Hester and Neha Marupudi. They did a stellar job helping with our Speaker Series! We look forward to meeting our 2026-27 Emory CLSM volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering with DEF, we keep a rolling calendar of the opportunities available throughout the year.

We know the saying, 'a picture is worth 1000 words' and we do love photos, but the words here are also so dear. These notes are just some of the ones we received from students who benefitted from a grant from DEF that funded a Sewing Club at Oakhurst Elementary. When you support DEF, you make possible moments like these! Read more about DEF's grants program https://www.decatureducationfoundation.org/grants
