Two common practice skills used in community development are facilitation and collaboration.

Facilitation involves guiding a group through a process to achieve a specific goal. For example, a community development organization may use facilitation skills to lead a town hall meeting on a proposed development project, ensuring that all voices are heard and that the group reaches a consensus on the best course of action.
