Leadership program looking for community project ideas
Leadership Charlevoix County (LCC) is now accepting proposals for its annual Community Service Project from local nonprofit organizations.
The program is starting its 11th year as a comprehensive training experience for community members seeking to play a more active role in leadership and their communities.
The Community Service Project is an integral part of the hands-on experience of LCC participants. Each year, the class decides on a Community Service Project, which will benefit an area of Charlevoix County. The project involves all members of the leadership class and focuses on team building, project management and leadership skills. The proposals will be reviewed by the LCC Executive Board of Directors and then distributed to the Class of 2022-2023. The new leadership class has been selected, attended orientation and will participate in their first class session on Beaver Island, an overnight retreat on Sept. 11 and 12.
Not-for-profit organizations that provide services in Charlevoix County are invited to submit proposals for the next LCC Community Service Project. To qualify, the proposed project should start no earlier than Nov. 1, 2022, and be completed by no later than May 30, 2023. The requirements of the LCC class should be specifically stated. Projects can be hands-on, can include fundraising, and can involve organization development, public relations campaigns, and/or community activation. While faith-based organizations are welcome to apply, the project may not be religious in nature. Projects may not be partisan or directed toward a specific political purpose.
