Dedicated Programmers
Dedicated Programmers collaborate with the CLC to link, leverage, and align resources in ways that enhance one another's capacity to create a shared outcome. These efforts work to meet the needs of community members in the areas of Workforce Development, Health and Wellness, and the Arts, providing social and emotional support.
Dedicated Programmers meet monthly with the Director to further the mission of the CLC. They collaborate to combat working in isolation and share services to ensure economic sustainability and skills development. They are able to access all areas of the CLC to further their programming while collaborating with others - and the community - to thrive.

Committees
The Performing Arts committee is comprised of community members led by Craig Munk. These members meet monthly at The Community Learning Center to broaden the programming housed within the center. They are leading the way to enrich people’s lives while collaborating with Dedicated Programmers to offer Lunch and Learns, Musical lessons, Acting, Writing and Producing Workshops and multigenerational opportunities within the center. This group will plan community activities such as book clubs, sing alongs, family movie nights and lecture series. They will also be instrumental in securing for-profit performances in our auditorium that further the performing arts within our community.
