Dedicated Programmers

Overview

Dedicated Programmers at the Community Learning Center fill out an application and interview with the Programming Committee of the Board. Dawn McGahen, Mayor Lance Waters, Candice Holbrook and Julia Tipton see if these programmers meet the criteria necessary to be a good partner working alongside other non profits housed within the CLC. These partners are collaborative and are working to meet the needs of community members with Work Force Development, Health and Wellness and through the Arts with Social and Emotional support. These dedicated programmers are housed within the center and meet monthly with the Executive Director to further the Mission of The Community Learning Center. They collaborate together to ensure that these non profits do not work in isolation, but rather share services to ensure economic sustainability and skill development. They are able to access all areas of the center to further their programming while collaborating with other programmers and the community to ensure progress of our Mission.
