Community development is shaped by the leaders of that community. Leaders listen and experience the people’s needs, have foresight when making important decisions, and collaborate when possible for the benefit of all. Leaders have focus and direct actions towards the needs, they understand the past and assess the present to produce good future outcomes. Good Leaders are paramount to the betterment of life and services provided in the community.
该计划的愿景是提高我们社区当前领导者的技能或培养未来领导者,这些领导者将利用他们的才能和激情在马尼斯蒂地区产生积极影响. Current and prospective leaders will acquire knowledge of the strengths, trends, 以及马尼斯蒂县的问题,目的是让参与者确定并参与影响变革的方式.
It is a nine-month program where participants will explore and engage key skills, meet current community leaders, and showcase many important areas of our local community. Prospective leaders will acquire knowledge of the strengths, trends, 以及马尼斯蒂县内部的问题,目标是参与者成为确定影响变革方式的领导者.
At the end of the program, 领导团队将创建并完成“服务大日子”社区服务计划. 这个项目使领导者能够通过一个服务项目来测试他们的技能. 这种同志关系将建立积极的经验教训和关系,有望在未来使社区受益.
