Learning About Nonprofits

Posted Date: 10/29/2024

LHS graduate Alycyn Keeling visited Mr. Hill's LHS Business Classes this week to teach them how nonprofits are run. She taught students that operating for a public or social benefit rather than to generate profit for its owners. Students learned that a nonprofit enhances the quality of life in some way. She taught them that nonprofits must have a clear mission and vision and communicate transparently with their donors. You must build relationships with people and ensure they understand the positive things being done to impact a thriving community. Ms. Keeling does all these things with The Wallace Theater. It was built in 1925, enjoyed by many, and then abandoned in the late 80s. Ms. Keeling, along with help from a fantastic board and many donors, are getting close to having The Wallace restored. The Wallace will be the heart of our community and create experiences that entertain, inspire, and empower each individual through the arts. Thank you, Ms. Keeling for teaching our LHS students and for having this amazing passion to make Levelland a great place to live!
