If you have a passion to serve your community but don't know where to start, a Clinton non-profit is hoping a program coming soon will help you direct that passion in a positive direction.

Cody Monkman is the Executive Director of the Neighborhood Care Center and on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday told Regional Radio News the root of this is a core belief that there is a stigma that service has to be perfect and professional but he says that can stand in the way of someone making an impact.

Monkman believes making an impact is not that difficult but for some, they don't know where to start. He hopes to create a safe space of collaboration and connection for someone to get the ball moving on a dream they may have.

According to Monkman, the network they have created has people that have experience and knowledge in a lot of areas. He envisions this being something to, quote - "breath life into people who have dreams".

Monkman believes Neighborhood Lab will be right in line with the mission of the Neighborhood Care Center, and that is to connect small-town neighbors to a relational network that supports and inspires them to meet their God-given potential. 

He looks forward to sharing more details about this program as it comes together.
