The city of Maple Grove is gearing up for a festive season with a focus on youth leadership and community engagement as it rolls out the red carpet for the Maple Grove Ambassador Scholarship Program. The Maple Grove Police Department updated the community through a social media post, highlighting the recent gathering hosted by City Administrator Heidi Nelson and Chief of Police Eric Werner, where they welcomed current and aspiring ambassadors for the 2025-2026 tenure.
As part of the program, participants are offered a chance to develop leadership skills while serving their local community; this initiative connects them with other individuals and organizations across Minnesota, aiming to foster a sense of greater involvement and civic pride within the younger generation, but the announcement also serves as a save-the-date for the "Maple Grove Masquerade" coronation event, set to take place on July 18 during the Maple Grove Days, which is anticipated to be an event bubbling with community spirit and celebration.
Mark your calendars for 7 p.m. at Maple Grove Middle School, where the program's culmination will feature the coronation of the new ambassadors amidst the fanfare of the annual community festivities. This scholarship program not only recognizes the contributions of these young individuals but also promises to mentor them into exemplary figures who can spearhead positive change in society.
The "Maple Grove Masquerade" is not just a coronation, it's a significant milestone for the participating youth, marking their transition from candidates to ambassadors who will be undertaking responsibilities that shape the community, those interested in witnessing this transformation should make their way to the middle school on the Friday of Maple Grove Days, where the promise of a lively masquerade adds a layer of excitement to the ceremonial passage, reflecting the vibrant community spirit that the city of Maple Grove continually strives to nurture and celebrate.
