COMMUNITY IMPACT PROJECT The Community Impact Project challenges LGR participants to actively apply their leadership skills and work collaboratively through their strengths to form partnerships, grow their brand, and ultimately meet a community need. The project must be doable, scaleable, and sustainable, with success not measured by the dollars raised or tenure of the project, but rather the learning and leadership growth each participant experiences as part of the Community Impact Project process. Last May, the Leadership Greater Rochester Class of 2022 was joined by Rochester Mayor Kim Norton at Rochester Community and Technical College for the reveal of their completed Community Impact Project, the Thrive Outside Winter Activities Trailer. This trailer is stocked with a variety of winter equipment such as sleds, snowshoes, broomball sets, igloo block makers, snowman kits, and a portable fire pit. The Thrive Outside Winter Activity Trailer is designed to promote the social, mental, and physical well-being of underserved communities in Rochester.
