Course Details

Self-reliant communities have the internal strength to manage negative pressures and trends, and the organized capacity to advance democratically-defined empowerment, growth, and development objectives. These strengths and capacities are created through the community’s ability to focus on its assets –the gifts of individual citizens, the capacities of neighborhood associations and community-based organizations, and the often hidden strengths of local institutions as the foundation of community building. The course utilizes case-studies and practical exercises to provide participants with knowledge and skills to apply Asset Based Community Development approaches and techniques to community organizing, neighborhood revitalization, and the design and implementation of community services. We’ll emphasize strategies for on-going identification and development of community assets, and to make the asset-based approach an integral part of your organization’s culture.
