About the League of Extraordinary Students

Adapted from the “Governor’s League of Extraordinary Teens” created in 2005 by the Tennessee Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation, the Ferst Foundation League of Extraordinary Students is eager to “Imagine the Possibilities” when Georgia’s young adults (middle, high school, and college students) engage in the spirit of philanthropy and become inspired to make a change in the future of our State, one child at a time!

Georgia students are invited to become active Ferst Foundation partners through the League of Extraordinary Students, which engages middle, high school, and college students in the logistical and financial management of their own Ferst Foundation community.
