Leadership Lackawanna Core Program
Now Accepting Proposals
Graduates of Leadership
Lackawanna’s Core Program Class
of 2017 recently completed three
service projects that raised more than
$30,000 in cash and in-kind donations.
As part of the 10-month curriculum,
Core Program participants collaborate
with local non-profit organizations to
complete various projects that impact
the community, address a need and
result in a tangible end product.
“Ultimately, the purpose of
our projects is leadership and
community engagement,” said
Nicole A. Morristell, director,
Leadership Lackawanna. “The
outcomes, as indicated by the
accomplishments of the Class of
2017, have proven this. I am thrilled
about the impact our projects have
had on our region. Raising $30,000
that stays local is something of
which we are very proud.”
This year marks Leadership
Lackawanna’s 35th anniversary as the
premier leadership and professional
development organization in our
region. Area non-profit organizations
are invited to submit a proposal
to Leadership Lackawanna for
implementation as a Core Program
class community service project.
Past projects have included:
renovations to the Electric City Trolley
Museum Association’s “Bay 4”, the
creation of a pre-teen/teenager room
at the Nancy K. Holmes Public Library,
the restoration of Hanlon’s Grove
inside Nay Aug Park, the creation
of an online web game for the
Lackawanna Historical Society and an
online database of historic buildings
for the City of Scranton.
Projects must have a reasonable
scope and budget and cannot include
capital campaigns or raising large
sums of money.
