Testimonials from previous participants
"I really found my sense of connection & community within Bloomington. The primary reason I joined BLP was to figure out what the city had to offer and meet my neighbors. I have made many great friends & connected with this city on a whole new level."
"[The program] helped me deepen my sense of volunteerism and I felt more connected to the city. As a result of the BLP, I joined the Board of the Bloomington Community Foundation."
"When I better understand the system, I want to learn more about the city, the state and the country to better teach and advocate for our Latin community."
"Now when a neighbor complains about something, I have a better lens to think about what they are saying and even correct them with better info , give them a resource to give feedback (rather than complain) or reassure them that the city is working hard and does care. I also feel more empowered about the channels available to get involved, give feedback, voice concerns, if I felt I had a question or concern.
