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 eleventh 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 2021-2022. The new leadership class has been selected, attended Orientation, and will participate in their first class session on Beaver Island, an overnight retreat on September 12th and 13th.
More information, a full description of the proposal guidelines, and a list of past projects can be found HERE.
