Five local organizations will get a boost towards their goals as the Multicultural Leadership Program (MCLP) Class of 2015 concludes its community service projects on Saturday, March 7 at Heartland Community College's Astroth Community Education Center Building (the second floor auditorium).
Beginning with a 7:30 a.m. continental breakfast, this public presentation is offered 8 to 10:45 a.m. Five MCLP teams will share how they put servant leadership into action, dedicating six months’ time and effort to help five local non-profit organizations achieve the following:
Community Health Care Clinic — study the feasibility of a dental clinic and a five-year budget program
Immanuel Health Care — develop strategies to increase name recognition
Meadows at Mercy Creek — support staff development to enhance skills and better serve residents
Prairie Pride Coalition — assess LGBT community needs to help redefine goals and outreach
Challenger Learning Center — enhance fundraising efforts
Immediately following the project presentations, MCLP will offer an information session 11:00 AM to noon to share about future MCLP opportunities, including how to apply for the MCLP Class of 2016 program year. Local nonprofits interested to submit proposals for next year’s MCLP class projects may apply online at www.bn-mclp.org.
