You can help Leadership Door County’s latest effort to make the peninsula a better place to live, work, and play. Since 1990, Leadership Door County has brought people from all walks of life in the area for a year-long exploration of what makes the peninsula function, culminating with a project. Pausing COVID, past Leadership Door County projects have included a garden for the Door County Senior Center and Boys and Girls Club, raising funds for the Door County Sheriff’s Department’s K-9 program, and building a kayak launch at Cove at Crossroads. Door County Sheriff’s Department Captain Carl Waterstreet says his Leadership Door County experience has been eye-opening despite living his entire life on the peninsula and being part of a long line of public servants in the area.

A trip to the Boys and Girls Club inspired this year’s Leadership Door County class with its plan to build a Zen Den for the clients at Sunshine Resources in Sturgeon Bay. Sunshine Resources Director of Client Services and Leadership Door County class member Hayley Moynihan says the people they serve will benefit tremendously from the creation of the Zen Den, which is used to help those who are overstimulated a place to unwind and calm down.
