Rural Leaders Grant Program
Southern West Virginia Community and Technical recently hosted its third annual Rural Leaders Grant Program on the Logan Campus.
Fifteen participants, representing three rural communities from Logan and McDowell counties, completed 35 hours of training in leadership development and community capacity building. Upon completion of their training, each team received a $1,000 mini-grant to fund a project in their community.
The Logan County Hard Drive Project, lead by Southern student Barry Carter II, intends to provide computers to low income students in the Man community.
The McDowell County One Voice Project, lead by Tom Hatcher, Mayor of War, is working to form a coalition around drug awareness and prevention issues. A second McDowell County team,
the Northfork Neighborhood Watch, was lead by Parker. This team intends to teach youth and seniors crime prevention strategies.
