We Want Your Great Idea to be our Next Program
Founded in 2016, StrongerTowns has 5 active programs underway and is evaluating a handful more. For a program to be a good fit with StrongerTowns, it must be innovative in its approach to solving a problem of high social impact. The idea can be brand new, fresh, and unproven - but the application of the idea must be able to be replicated on a national scale in rural communities once it has been successfully tested locally.
