Exercise 9

Ask your instructor if he or she is aware of any community organizing/building efforts in a local community. If you are able to identify such an effort, make an appointment-either by yourself or with some of your classmates-to meet with the person who is leading the effort and ask the following questions:
What is the problem that faces the community?
What is the goal of the group?
What steps have been taken so far to organize/build the community, and what steps are yet to be taken?
Who is active in the core group?
Did the group conduct a community assessment?
What intervention will be/has been used?
Is it anticipated that the problem will be solved?
