DESK brings local elementary school children to campus each spring to create inspiring, colorful study spaces for students in their homes.
A longstanding campus tradition, DESK was started in 2004 in partnership with Old Town Elementary after two WFU students identified a lack of workspace in the homes of the children they were tutoring. Today it includes four participating schools – Old Town Elementary, Cook Literacy Model School, Kimberley Park Elementary, and North Hills Elementary.
In addition to providing a personalized study space for local children, DESK helps raise money to support the Wake Forest University Children’s Defense Fund Freedom School.
DESK is usually in early April. Please follow the DESK Instagram for more details, or email wfudesk@wfu.edu with questions.
