Strengthening leadership establishes new ways of thinking and new
patterns of behavior in a community.  The LeadershipPlenty program
embraces the belief that people from different backgrounds can and must
work together and it provides the tools to prepare them for the task.
The program is guided by a set of core values and assumptions:

 

*         People working together can solve problems in a creative way

*         Communities need a diverse perspective to address issues

*         Problem-solving should be inclusive

*         Learning is a life-long activity

*         Working together to solve community issues builds
relationships that benefit the overall health of the community

 

Volunteer West Virginia has applied to the WV Development Office for

13 distressed counties.  This funding is not confirmed at this time.
