Minnesota

Good news!  Horizons has been funded for another round of 15 communities in MN.  Horizons is an 18-month program of leadership education, community discussion, visioning and action for rural communities with a population of up to 5,000 and a poverty rate of 10% or more.   Maybe it’s the right fit for your community or a community near you.

Several information sessions have been scheduled throughout the state.  The information sessions will provide an opportunity for you to learn more about Horizons, engage with staff and possibly alumni community members, and find out how your community can get involved.

We held our monthly conference call with Horizons communities on June 16th. My notes are below (click “more”). If you couldn’t make it to the call, this should give you a short and sweet rundown of the important details. Enjoy, and have a great week! (more…)
