Our Story

Project Lot[us] was inspired by those impacted by the Oxford High School tragedy on November 30, 2021, which brought darkness and despair into the well-being of many. Project Lot[us] seeks to enter into this darkness to uplift the well-being of individual's mental, physical, and social health.

Project Lot[us] uses a public health approach to promote wellness among students. Our mission is to catalyze wellness by unifying physical, mental, and social health and provide students a peace-filled space in community.
