As part of your Leadership Jackson experience, you will work with a group of classmates on the completion of a service project to benefit a Jackson County nonprofit. Each group will be responsible to meet, plan, and execute the project in partnership with their nonprofit, with the guidance of an Alumni Committee Member.
