Who knew the Big Table could be so fun??

The Commission on Black Girls and MBK Columbus, with the City of Columbus Department of Neighborhoods, were proud to host student ambassadors from the Columbus City Preparatory School for Girls and the Columbus City Preparatory School for Boys at the historic Lincoln Theatre for the Columbus Foundation’s The Big Table on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025.

Our Big Table, powered by EPIC Youth, created space for meaningful conversation, connection and reflection. Students engaged in dialogue about leadership, community and the impact they can make within their schools and neighborhoods.

Special thanks to the Heart of Job Foundation for capturing the energy and inspiration of the day through videography.

Together, we’re helping young leaders find their voice and strengthen the future of Columbus.
