Year Four, 2022-2023
Year Four, 2022-2023
Eight Fellows worked with eight communities,
oversaw the distribution of $8,000 in microgrants,
developed a seven-part training series.
In Year Four, the Fellows program expanded to include Special Projects. Three of the Fellows researched and developed guides and other materials to expand the technical support available to Maine's Lifelong Communities and two worked with us on publicity and marketing.
Note: At the close of that year, we asked each Host Community to reflect on their accomplishments and lessons learned. Clicking on the name of each will take you to the poster submission designed by each community.
