Develop and maintain an online platform for community expression that advances Green County area social and cultural interests, connects and distributes community information, inspires community innovation, and puts community first!
The Future Forward! Green County initiative is one example of community in action in the Green County area. The goal of Future Forward! is to ensure a bright and prosperous future for Green County area businesses, schools, organizations and communities by attracting, retaining and engaging the next generation that is even now shaping the future of this county. Green County Spotlight LLC and Future Forward! Green County have now joined forces as community partners to help build and maintain this community resource and advance a variety of other community objectives. For more information about this unique community initiative, please visit the Future Forward! Green County website.
We're excited to announce that Future Forward! Green County and Green County Spotlight LLC have teamed up with a number of local school districts and other community partners and will begin offering mentor-based, high-school-level internships here in Cyberspace at GreenCountySpotlight.com. We'll be introducing our student interns on this page as they come on board. Each intern will be paired with one or more community professionals who will act as mentors for that student as they work on various Spotlight projects. Student information posted here has been approved by a parents or guardian before posting. On behalf of all involved, we feel this is a a true example of win-win philosophy in action (a win for the schools, a win for the students, a win for the Spotlight, a win for Future Forward, and, most importantly, a win for our future of our community). We look forward with great anticipation to working with our student interns and their community mentors as this program unfolds.
