“A positive outcome takes positive people.
I enjoyed my Leadership class experience,
because I met positive people of all ages and
walks of life. This experience showed me
how much people love this community,
and what I can do to show my appreciation
for the greater Wisconsin Rapids area.”
“The Community Leadership Program is
a great way to engage in and learn more
about the place we call home. I appreciated
the opportunity to meet community leaders
and learn about the work currently underway
within their organizations.”
“Working with my group members on our
project was a fantastic learning experience,
we each brought a different skill-set to the
table and worked very well together to
complete a successful group project. Most
of all, the relationships I built with my
classmates are invaluable. This is an
experience I won’t soon forget”
