The program will get started with the new academic year and provides members with opportunities to learn and practice skills critical to working with volunteers, community groups, and town staff, said Kathleen Stewart, director of town services. There’s a mandatory initial retreat workshop from 9-11 a.m. Aug. 24.
IMPACT includes monthly sessions, team building, leadership skills development, and communication skills development.
