WSU Sociology Students at Work for You!

Sociology 433, an undergraduate class at Washington State University, has been researching options and resources for topics that are important to your rural communities as you work to reduce poverty. Topics include: affordable housing, neighborhood safety, youth activities and much, much more.

Your community may be in contact with one of these teams, but all of their research may be relevant to the issues you are addressing. Click to the Horizons website http://www.horizons.wsu.edu/project/horizons3/community.html to read about their work.

Come Saturday to the Leadership Plenty meeting...

What would you rather do instead?

Horizons Statewide Training

Seven Lyle residents attended the statewide Horizons training in Spokane, WA on December 2-4. The Three day event, hosted by the Northwest Area Foundation and WSU Extension, brought people together from 40 small rural communities to address issues of poverty reduction and increased leadership skills. 

Lyle citizens are looking forward to the possibilities that lie ahead. A new round of community engagement will be coming up after the first of the year. This next phase titled, LeadershipPlenty, consists of nine modules that address primary civic skills that allow community members to confidently identify local problems and implement a plan of action to combat those problems. 

There have been many accomplishments achieved in Lyle during the first Study Circle phase. Over 40 people joined together to discuss the needs of our community throughout the past five weeks. Now, we are eager to take the next step in selecting and implementing ideas that will benefit Lyle. Join us on December 21st for the Action Forum at the Lions Community Center from 1:00-4:00 and help shape the future of Lyle.
