Further, it provides participants with the opportunity to exchange ideas and personally interact with the individuals responsible for charting the future of our region. Overall, the program’s goal is to create a motivated corps of volunteer leaders that social service and civic groups could draw from for advice and guidance. e development of community leaders by providing participants with an enhanced understanding of the various issues and topics relevant to the Greater Scranton area.
