From Coweta Community Foundation Press Release

Northgate High School senior Sidney Brown has been named the recipient of the 2025 Community Service Team Scholarship from the Coweta Community Foundation. The award was presented on April 21 at the group’s end-of-the-year celebration at the Newnan-Coweta Chamber offices in Newnan.

Sidney participated in the CST for all four years in high school, serving as secretary her tenth-and eleventh-grade years and as vice president this year. She plans to attend Clemson University and pursue a degree in Finance.

Originally launched in 2015, the Community Service Team began with ninth and tenth graders who learned about the nonprofits in Coweta County. Members of the Community Service Team operate as a board and form relationships with local nonprofits. The goal is for these young leaders to have the opportunity to sit on a local nonprofit board by the time they are juniors or seniors in high school.

“Being part of the Community Service Team gives students the chance to learn about various nonprofit organizations in Coweta County and beyond,” said CCF Board Member Tonya Whitlock. “It also allows them to support the community through hands-on service at several fundraising events and to bond with students from all of the area high schools.”

The Coweta Community Foundation’s mission is to enhance our community’s quality of life by encouraging philanthropic interaction in Coweta County.
