New Town Horizens Completes Requirements for Community Grant
After hard work by many community participants New Town has completed a program sponsored by Northwest Area Foundation to enhance leadership, community and reduce poverty. After being chosen to participate in the program, it started with the Study Circles which discussed poverty, it’s many causes and visions for their town. After that they conducted the Leadership Plenty training for volunteer community leaders. Then……..they involved over 200 persons of all income levels, ages, and ethnic backgrounds to develop a comprehensive vision for New Town. The NDSU Group Decision Center assisted as did the State Horizens program with compiling the serveys. Then the Horizens participants helped chose goals and strategies. Cheyanne Erickson, Ft Berthold Extension Agent typed up the final decisions. All the stages had rigorous time and participation deadlines, but now the $10,000.00 is on the way and we can use it towards meeting our visions. Our vision is on our blog site if you with to read it.
