Community Development Academy

Each Leadership Development Academy of Rock County participant works with a small group of their fellow class members to plan and execute a collaborative project that addresses a community need. These projects and their results are presented each May and serve as the program's capstone experience.

This team will be creating a partnership between students and the community by looking to improve the appeal of downtown Janesville, which in turn helps promote small businesses and community mindedness through the development of young people and their talents.
