Horizons Phase III
- 2008 - 2010
NDSU Extension is currently recruiting 15 new communities to
be involved in Horizons - Phase III. This phase begins
in September 2008 and concludes in March 2010. We are
currently seeking communities that may be interested in
participating in this exciting leadership program to reduce
poverty. Communities participating must have less than 5000
in population and at least a 10% poverty rate according to
the 2000 Census. Information on your town can be found
at:
www.factfinder.census.gov
Communities interested must:
-
Complete the application form
found here by September 15.
- Hold
a community meeting with NDSU Extension staff and at least
10 people from your town in August or September (please contact Lynette
Flage at 701-265-5200 or
Lynette.Flage@ndsu.edu
to set this up). This meeting will last approximately
1.5 hours and we will come to your community to better
inform you of the program, the thresholds to be met and the
benefits to you.
A
brochure that
further explains the program can be found here.
Additional
information about the previous 21 Horizons communities can be
reviewed through their stories told and published in a
Horizons tabloid linked here. Other stories of success
can be found on the North Dakota Horizons blogs at
www.northdakota.communityblogs.us
Thank you
for your consideration in this exciting program.
