Have an idea on how to improve Spring Hill? Have a business idea you want to explore? Join the Spring Hill Resilience Academy and be part of New Horizon on the Hill. This class will show you what it takes to start and grow a business and ask you to help Spring Hill unite, rebuild and network. Together we will look at challenges and opportunities in our community and see examples of people who overcame hardship to gain wealth.

By learning to solve problems for others and our community, we can 1) find opportunities others have overlooked, 2) learn about beliefs and assumptions that drive people to overcome hardships, and 3) participate in field trips and activities that will help us understand how we can be a resilient community. Resilience is defined as the ability of a community, business, institution or individual to plan, adapt, recover and grow regardless of the stressors and shocks they experience.
