Possibilities Programs & Services
Possibilities alumni and the communities they transform benefit from Possibilities Programs and Services.
Their work impacts thousands of people each year with positive community change. Our prime program, Inside Out Community Leadership, is a 3-part program that increases confidence and builds skills for working with others, and motivates participants to create innovative, needed change in their communities. Inside Out Community Leadership provides ongoing mentoring and support during and after the program for all participants and alumni.
