Outreach<br />
LEE in the Community<br />
Outreach programs were conducted periodically at each of the 18 centers to promote the WE Project in the community, attract new<br />
participants, and build community support for the graduates. Local dignitaries and community leaders were invited to participate. Prior WE<br />
Graduates were often invited to attend to share their experience with newcomers.<br />
Critical to the LEE curriculum are the Ideal Village exercises and “LEE in the Community” events. Early in the WE course, students were guided<br />
in small groups through the Ideal Village exercise: to first draw what they imagine as a perfect community; second, list current problems they<br />
see in their own communities, and lastly identify an action plan to address these issues. These drawings and action items are hung on the wall<br />
of the training center throughout the course, and serve to motivate the planning of the LEE in the Community events. The WE Graduates made<br />
real, positive changes in their communities and demonstrated how effectively they are now able to participate in a democratic society.<br />
