Community Development Academy!!!

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:11:17 +0000

The Community Development Academy is a series of workshops that will provide community leaders the assessment and strategic planning information necessary to devise participatory community development plans and strategies. Participants will gain the information, resources and new ideas for planning to create quality sustainable communities. There are scholarships available for registration from multiple groups, which include: Hansen Foundation Scholarship (through Huck Boyd Institute), wKREDA , Rural Telephone, Golden Belt Telephone and Blackhills Energy. It is strongly encouraged to have at least four (4) individuals to make up a community team. A county, town, or region can form a team. This academy will be starting on September 22 for the Community Team Leaders. The official schedule, scholarship information links, and dates can all be found on the K-State Community Development Academy website.

The first academy workshop will be held in the middle of Western Kansas, at FHSU in Hays, Kansas. This is close to home for Phillips County community residents, so don’t miss out on this opportunity. A group has already been forming for Phillipsburg and one representing Phillips County, but any other town in the county would sure benefit from taking this information acquired back to their own town and making exciting development projects happen.

If you have any questions, please contact PCED staff at 543-5809. The deadline for the Academy is coming up soon, so if you are even slightly interested, please consider leading a team from your community.
