Leadership Tompkins

Community Action Projects

CAPs for 2007-2008 Program Year

A key component of Leadership Tompkins is the Community Action Projects. This gives participants a chance to begin making a difference in the community right away, while developing an appreciation for the work required to envision and bring about change.

Projects are selected by the participants themselves, based on their interests, passions, skills, community need, desire for growth experiences.

The stated goals of the CAPs are to:

Make a contribution to the quality of life in Tompkins County
Provide the participants with a learning experience in the context of current community issues
Provide the participants with the opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills in a safe environment
Encourage participants to create a partnership with at least one community organization and help them build a network of community leaders and resources
Give the participants the opportunity to learn more about each other, personally, professionally, and what each already contributes to the community.

For the 2007-2008 program, the CAPs are listed below.
