2019-20 Community Projects
Aspiring Leaders of Green County
The team worked on creating and maintaining a group that consists of like-minded individuals who want to improve Green County. To do so, the group has worked to provide members with civic, social, and professional opportunities. Those opportunities may include but will not be limited to networking events, fundraising, and community volunteer work. The project has had to adapt and pivot due to covid-19.
4-H Multicultural Pilot Program
Worked with Ellen Andrews, 4-H Youth Development Educator with Extension Green County, to develop a pilot program that will engage with minority students and give them a positive experience with Green County 4-H. The project has had to adapt and pivot due to covid-19.
Monroe Community Gardens
A community garden will offer a place to grow vegetables, flowers, and herbs for individuals that lack adequate space to have a garden at their house/apartment. The community garden will also have a plot managed by organizers, whose goods will be donated to local food pantries. The project has had to adapt and pivot due to covid-19.
Convivio
Convivio is a multi-cultural program focused on exploring diversity through art, culture, and language. The project has had to adapt and pivot due to covid-19.
Splash Pad
This project focused on conducting a feasibility study and exploring funding for adding an admission free splashpad in Green County, ideally located in Twining Park in Monroe. The group proposed partnering with the City of Monroe and Monroe Park and Recreation Department to customize and build the splashpad, and would turn the finished project over to the city to manage ongoing maintenance. The project has had to adapt and pivot due to covid-19.
