Does your organization or group have a need or issue that may benefit from the time, talents, and expertise of a Green County Leaders project team? Green County Leaders is currently accepting community project proposals for the upcoming program year.

Community projects link participants with community groups and provide hands-on leadership experience, complete with all the challenges and opportunities that exist in the community. Community projects assist participants in developing their leadership skills and provide a deliverable that would not have been accomplished without the GCL project team assistance. Descriptions of past projects and the proposal form can be found online at https://green.extension.wisc.edu/community-development/green-county-leaders/community-projects/. Projects must be completed by the project teams by mid-May.

To submit a project proposal, complete the project proposal form and send it to Victoria Solomon at victoria.solomon@wisc.edu by Wednesday, September 16. Your proposal will be reviewed by the GCL curriculum committee, which will be looking for feasibility, concreteness, and timeline.

For more information about Green County Leaders or community projects, contact Victoria Solomon, Community Development Educator with UW-Madison Division of Extension Green County at (608) 328-9440 or via email at victoria.solomon@wisc.edu.
