We’re preparing for the 2026-2027 class of CenterPoint Scholars.
CenterPoint Scholars is a year-long leadership academy designed to cultivate a cohort of dedicated resident leaders who are passionate about enhancing the quality of life in their neighborhoods. The program will follow a structured curriculum that encompasses listening, learning, implementing, and celebrating the progress made. Scholars commit to attending monthly meetings on the third Tuesday of every month, a two-day retreat in April, and working collaboratively to address issues within Muncie’s neighborhoods through a project-based approach.
CenterPoint Scholars must sign a Memorandum of Agreement to meet attendance requirements and complete all learning goals. Upon successful completion of the program, Scholars will receive $500 for their participation.
