Each LLT class is required to complete a community service project during the course of their nine-month program. The purpose of the project is to teach the class to work together as a team, to identify a community need and resolve it, to learn basic project development skills, and to give something back to the community.
Not-for-profit organizations that provide services in Emmet County are invited to submit proposals for the next Leadership Little Traverse (LLT) Community Service Project. To qualify, the proposed project should start no earlier than Nov. 1, 2026 and be completed by no later than April 30, 2027.
