The program utilizes researched-based leadership curriculum from ISU Extension and Outreach Community and Economic Development. “Leaders” use their learned skills to implement the selected projects; the projects are for the betterment of a non-profit / not-for-profit organization and the communities in Lee County. KPlay was one of three projects chosen for the class of 2017 to work on. Project leaders including Mark Bousselot (Keokuk), Doug Ewing (Keokuk), Maggie Guzman (Fort Madison), Shandra McWhorter (Fort Madison) were challenged to create and implement a fundraising opportunity for KPlay and Bentley’s Playground.
