(300 word maximum) Lewiston’s vision of a “community engaged” is consistent with results of a 2006 United Way community needs assessment survey . Examples of progress are below: Lewiston is ENGAGED IN providing positive opportunities for families/children: $20 million invested into affordable housing since 2003 Advocates for Children; Head Start/Child Care Sisters of Charity nutrition center providing healthy eating instruction At-risk populations assisted by programs such as Lots to Gardens CREATING a more dynamic, diversified economy less dependent on low-paying jobs: Over $350 million in business construction since 2000 Lewiston Career Center/Junior Career Connection serve as job resources Businesses/residents utilize Maine’s only fully fiber optic cable/telephone/broadband network ENHANCING arts/cultural activities: Home to Actors’ Equity Public Theatre; Franco-American Heritage Center; Museum L-A; Bates College Olin Arts/Schaefer Theater; Marsden Hartley Cultural Center Home to Great Falls Balloon Festival, Franco-Fun Festival, Greek Festival, and Somali Independence Day Celebration 2nd Home to Midcoast Symphony Orchestra ENCOURAGING civic involvement: Bates College service learning/volunteerism Youth engaged in municipal government ADVOCATING lifeong learning: Downtown’s new Andover College Expansion of USM L-A College Bates College ranked by Princeton Review as “best overall value” School-business partnerships Jobs for Maine Graduates’ student financial literacy program 4 BECOMING more culturally informed/enhancing service access for non-English speakers Civil Rights Team & Student Leadership Project Community-wide outreach/services for new immigrant population Citizenship classes enabling individuals to seek/retain employment, interact with health providers, support school age children’s needs, and manage living tasks ENHANCING residents’ quality of life/healthy lifestyles, including health care for the Low/Moderate Income (LMI): School-based health program in middle/high schools B Street Health Center assists with health care of LMI population U Booze U Looze youth-to-youth initiative State-of-the-art Cardiac Center II. How are we fulfilling the new roles for community governance? II. (a). What is the extent and nature of community member participation in community improvement efforts? (300 word maximum) Community involvement is vast within Lewiston, and the below examples depict the willingness of individuals to work together for a common goal. Thorncrag Nature Center Project: Twenty-eight Stanton Bird Club volunteers “birthed” the idea for a nature center in 2003. Thorncrag currently serves Androscoggin County and beyond as the largest bird sanctuary within New England with 5 miles of recreational trails. A 40+ volunteer stewardship committee maintains the sanctuary, manages habitats, and provides safe access. Fundraising for Phase I of the “Center” project began in 2006, and 30% of the $600,000 goal has been raised. Engineers, architects, and businesses have contributed in-kind donations totaling $44,000. Skate Lewiston-Auburn Movement: A grassroots collaboration featuring non-profits, businesses, parents, youth, and municipal staff worked to establish a 12,000 square-foot state-of-the-art concrete skatepark on donated land in Lewiston’s downtown. Multi-generational partnerships were highlights of this $250,000 fundraising endeavor with adults/youth bringing this recreational opportunity to fruition in 2006 . United Somali Women of Maine (USWM): Through interviewing Somali immigrants, particularly women and girls, USWM sponsored the production/dissemination of a multimedia educational DVD called “Being Somali in Lewiston: Fostering Community Dialogue/Learning Through Image and Reflection .” Women interviewed discussed the importance of education; changing roles of women; and their commitment to their culture. The project aims at fostering discussion/learning amongst diverse audiences, including educators/service providers, as well as Somali/non-Somali community members. Androscoggin Leadership Institute: The Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce and Central Maine Medical Center have partnered to provide a community-strengthening Androscoggin
