Recharge Our Community's Economy WORKSHOP 1
Each ROCE Workshop is full of hands-on activities and facilitated discussions that make time pass quickly! Community visioning, asset mapping, creative problem solving, and strategic action planning are just a few of the concepts and tools participants use to identify and begin implementing economic opportunities that help Kodiak thrive.
We do our best to keep your mind engaged and body moving! We will be standing and moving often, so be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Our hope is that you leave each workshop excited for the future and what you are working together to create!
It truly takes a community to put a workshop like this together. Be sure to check out the Community Support page to learn more.
