Join Connect Marquette and Grow & Lead for our annual combined conference. Our two-day event is broken up into Day 1 focused on nonprofits and Day 2 geared towards overall professional development.

Since 1994, Grow & Lead: Community and Youth Development has recognized outstanding high school students and educators in Marquette and Alger counties through the Excellence in Education Week program. This unique, community-based partnership publicly highlights current leaders in education and students with high academic achievement. The program kicks off with an awards program at NMU and continues with Days of Excellence at area school districts.

On Monday evening of Excellence in Education Week, the top 5% of graduating seniors are recognized along with an educator they have selected as most influential to their academic success. In addition, 25 educators receive Professional Development Awards to support special projects in their classrooms or attend continuing education opportunities. Approximately 350 educators, students, parents, school representatives and community members attend.

Grow & Lead believes that a supportive community helps young people thrive. Excellence In Education Week helps young people know our community values their efforts to be the best they can be and the role of educators in students’ success.

Grow & Lead invites residents of the U.P. and those who hold the region close to their hearts to support a local organization within the 906 area code during this season of generosity. “Nonprofit organizations have shown remarkable resilience and adaptability in recent years, displaying both innovation and tenacity,’”says Grow & Lead CEO Amy Quinn. “The Give906 Giving Guide highlights the creativity and dedication of U.P. organizations as they work to meet community needs and make a meaningful impact on lives across the region.”
