Macon, Georgia, March 2, 2023

Mercer University, Merserve students developed a one-day workshop for the Kings Park community youth to engage in social media platforms that were promoting the 36th Annual Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and the associated trademark “Slime” events that have been used by social influencers, bloggers, celebrities, professional athletes and students worldwide. The workshop taught the youth how to make their own Slime; and, how to use their collective voices for advocacy and social change.

Kelvin Middleton, CEO, of MGB INC., played an integral role in cultivating the partnership with Mercer University and the MerServe student volunteers who provide peer-to-peer academic tutoring and special events for youth in the Kings Park community in East Macon.

Mercer University, MerServe student volunteers made Slime Gloop in a cup for the Kings Park youth.
