The LHC seeks Community Impact Projects (CIPs) for the FY25 program cycle. A CIP is identified by a host organization, typically a non-profit organization or government agency. The host organization identifies an organizational issue or challenge and class participants research and propose creative, sustainable solutions. This experience is designed to be mutually beneficial for the host organization and program participants, helping them better understand community needs and a deeper appreciation for community involvement. Attend a virtual information session to learn more:



• Wednesday, May 15 from 12 to 1 p.m.
• Wednesday, May 29 from 5 to 6 p.m.
• Friday, June 7 from 9 to 10 a.m.
