Class ProjectsLEAD class members work together to develop and implement a unique class project that benefits the community. Over the years, members have addressed mental health, literacy, access to indoor plumbing, assistance for the area's homeless and more. LEAD Class of 2023's project aimed to make positive change and to unite the Greater Williamsburg community by building Turquoise Tables, places where individuals and groups can meet in person to share a cup of coffee, a meal, stories and conversation. The class strived to bring back a sense of “community” in the community, to break down the barriers that set us apart and to create new opportunities for personal interactions. |
