This project is for students interested in learning about non-profit community organizations and writing grant proposals or policy research documents. Each participant will be assigned to a writing project for a community organization in Lorain County involved in such issues as youth violence, women's needs, or Latino American political organizing.
After receiving training in researching and writing in the non-profit sector, group members will work with members of their assigned organizations and discuss drafts of their projects with other group participants. Instruction will include a trip to the Foundation Center Library in Cleveland and speakers arranged by the Grassroots Leadership Development Program of Lorain County.
APPLICATIONS FOR THE PROJECT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO JAN COOPER BY TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26. OPEN ONLY TO JUNIORS AND SENIORS. Application forms can be obtained from Jan Cooper, King 139. It may be possible (but not automatic) to earn writing certification for this project.
