It is a joy to serve our community and respond to needs as they arise. The work of The Learning Council brings people together in support of our local agriculture and farmers, community health and vitality, Arts for All, access to local food, advocacy for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, and a feeling that together we can face whatever comes our way.
A central hub in the heart of Paonia will enliven the culture of our community while creating ongoing opportunities for high quality education and community engagement. Here we will continue to refine our offerings and collaborations and to serve our community by providing welcoming space and learning opportunities that enhance and celebrate our rural environment.
Check out the main page for our campaign here.
