Project Stimulating Neighborhood Action Process (SNAP) was funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in Flint, Michigan. Eleven cities were granted funding, including a consortium coordinated by Weber State College, under the direction of Dr. Joseph L. Nielson, director of community education. Project SNAP was conducted from 1978 to 1982. Local community improvement councils (CICs) were incorporated at elementary schools in the Ogden City and Weber School Districts. The CICs wrote proposals for neighborhood actions such as improving recreation facilities, increasing the safety around the schools, and providing education to parents and students about crime prevention and the risks of alcohol and drugs. These proposals were presented to Dr. Nielson for approval and allocation of funds. Dr. Nielson attended conferences related to community education, and local awards ceremonies were held to recognize the efforts of CIC members. Dr. Nielson and his secretary Allie Lee Lawler prepared action reports for the Mott Foundation with the assistance of Dr. Norman Hyatt and Dr. Joanne Kurfiss.
