Class Project Guidelines

CLASS PROJECT - Each Leadership Pasco class is responsible for organizing a class project that will make a positive impact on our community.  The following guidelines will assist your class in setting up your class project.

• Your project plan of action must be submitted to the Board of Directors by the February Board of Director’s meeting, via the Program Chairperson, for approval to ensure it does not conflict with present projects and goals of Leadership Pasco.
• The class project must be complete prior to graduation in May.  The Leadership Pasco Board of Directors will not assume responsibility for any projects created by Current Class.
• The Leadership Pasco Board of Directors will not sanction projects that are set-up as perpetual projects.
• All resources required for the project are the responsibility of Class members.
• Previous classes have organized fundraisers and some have secured community grants.
• Any funds raised beyond the needs of the designated project will be deposited in the Leadership Pasco, Inc. operating budget to help offset program costs.

The Board of Directors would like to thank each Class for their Class Project leadership and creativity, and wish each class the best of experiences on their class project.

Some Past Projects

• 2010 – The 34 member class created the Hygiene for Humanity Project. The class set their expectations high and their goal was to raise $44,000 for two, commercially manufactured three-and-a-half-ton mobile shower trailers with self-contained utilities for The Coalition for the Homeless of Pasco.  Pasco County Leaders had just unveiled their 10-year plan to end homelessness in the County.  This project recognized one of the biggest needs.  People need jobs and it’s hard to get one if you don’t have a place to get cleaned up.  These showers will help children; women and men of all ages maintain their dignity and their health.
