Leadership in your community
In West Point, Nebraska, organizers of a weekly farmers market have gone above and beyond buying and selling, and have brought their entire community together through inclusive events for adults and children alike, with activities and services offered in English and Spanish.
En West Point, Nebraska, los organizadores de un mercado de agricultores semanal han ido más allá de comprar y vender, y han reunido a toda su comunidad a través de eventos inclusivos para adultos y niños por igual, con actividades y servicios ofrecidos en inglés y español.
Leaders are the life-blood of small towns and rural communities. The success or failure of community development efforts often rests with the degree of leadership local residents are willing to provide.
This network has been made possible by support from U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and Marion Ewing Kauffman Foundation’s Heartland Challenge.
