Beating Poverty in Springdale
How is Springdale different from thousands of other small communities across the nation? It’s not. Beating poverty seemingly is every town's goal. Thanks to the Northwest Area Foundation, who created the Horizons Program, this goal is obtainable.
Horizons is a community leadership program aimed at reducing poverty in rural and small communities. Through an 18-month volunteer project, communities members are able to gain tools and knowledge of leadership to rise above and succeed. The Horizons Project awards participating communities that fulfill the 18-month commitment with grants up to $10,000 to help grow their community.
Springdale is lucky enough to have multiple volunteers join in the Leadership Program to better their community. Recently, four area women traveled to Moses Lake to partcipate in an incredible learning experience. Horizons Project instructors jam packed a wealth of knowledge into two days of work and fun. Thank you for their inspiration and encouragement.
Springdale Horizons participants urge other community members to get involved in making a positive change. Let’s join together, reduce poverty, and rise above to success.
