My Baton Rouge: Put a Little PEP in Your Step

Local young professional organization Forum 35 is kick–starting another year of its Public Education Project, fondly known as PEP. PEP is an initiative of Forum 35’s Service Pillar designed to provide an area school with young professional volunteers for a year-long service partnership. In past years, Forum 35 has helped local schools revitalize playgrounds, assist with after-school activities, plant gardens for the students, and so much more. 

Forum 35 is currently accepting applications from area public or charter schools to participate in PEP and looking for other young professionals to join its PEP committee to help plan the year ahead. Interested schools and volunteers can find more information at forum35.org/pep. 

Young professionals enhancing the local school environment, that’s my Baton Rouge. 

In the “My Baton Rouge” section of the newsletter, we feature people or events that help tell the story of Baton Rouge. To submit an idea, email talent@brac.org.
