WINGS 20th Anniversary Dare to Dream $20,000 Grant
Northfield Healthy Community Initiative: Northfield Community College Collaborative Expansion – A Place Where Dreams gain WINGS
The Northfield Community College Collaborative seeks to expand to serve more than 75 local individuals annually, including more than 55 women, allowing students to continue their postsecondary journeys, earning Minnesota State College & University credit and ultimately an associate degree without having to leave Northfield.
WINGS funding will make it possible to convert space in the Northfield Community Resource Center to real college classrooms and study spaces, ones that help show students that their work and postsecondary pursuits are valued by the community. WINGS funds will be used for the conversion of the NCRC space currently used for meetings and by Adult Basic Education into college classrooms and study spaces. This includes the purchase of multi-purpose classroom tables, chairs, study stations, projectors, white boards, etc. Moreover, for every $1.00 of funding provided by WINGS, a national funder has agreed to provide a $1.50 match, thereby further leveraging the local initiatives.
