About Us
Our Mission
The Legacy Foundation of SC's mission is to enrich students' educational, socio-emotional, and wellness experiences in Jasper County by addressing learning disparities, fostering safe spaces, and offering opportunities for learning and self-care beyond the traditional curriculum.
Our Vision
The vision of The Legacy Foundation of SC is to have students and families district-wide experience long-term success through our educational and wellness programs, community initiatives, and strategic partnerships.
​Our Approach
-
​We actively work with the State, Public, and Private sectors to supplement district-wide academic programs and cultural activities.
​
-
We lead with faith-based ideas to inspire creativity through advanced education that will propel our students to higher, more competitive, and profitable positions in life.​
​
-
We believe, with the help of the community and unconditional love, our Jasper County students will one day say with fervor - “I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me”.
Our Why
Jasper County’s youth have lost hope for too long, had their dreams deferred, and/or had their lives cut short due to violence and misfortune. The community is ready to change the narrative by fueling their imaginations and inspiring their young minds. We will be the change we want to see by collectively creating well-nurtured pathways to aspirational futures.
Guiding principle & declaration:
If we can change their conversations by offering new experiences, we create an
opportunity to dream, thus changing their life’s trajectory.
