I would like to use Community Tool Box in my Volunteerism course. I e-mailed a request today 1/7/17. Thank you for a great resource.

I am the Director of Development for the Art Council here in Long Beach. I believe that art making can be a vehicle for communication and integration for our residents. I would like to create public art projects that will bring together different neighborhoods in our City.

I have just starting browsing Chapter 27 and it is full of ideas that could help me as I write grants to fund my community painting projects. I can see that the Community Tool Box is something that I will refer to often as a guide. I will also check out some of the books and articles in the bibliography for more in depth discussion.

Community Tool Box has provided much needed information in accessing our community needs and options on how we can address them! This toolbox is truly invaluable, I pass this information to every organization or organization leader whom I come in contact. Again, thank you!

I am not a community organizer by profession. But I am very interested in forming units within my community to help support folks and help us all to lift one another up. I live in a relatively small city in the United States. So I realize that we are well off compared to others around the globe, but we have a lot of internalized oppression. I'd like to help us get rid of that so that we can take full control of our community.

I haven't read anything as yet, but I will read it and share it with others in the community. I expect that it will be useful in my work with my local church.

community tool books help me in collecting needed resources before providing any communities interventions

I'm a retired software developer with 10 years of experience in software process improvement and organizational change. I've gotten involved with a local group that is trying to save an old school that was donated to their town, because the town wants to make it "surplus". They'll give it to a non-profit, but the group hasn't been around long enough to establish itself that way.
The local Grange has stepped in to be the non-profit, but they only have six members, and when they demonstrated what a Grange meeting was like, the other members of the group didn't like the ritual and structure.
Lots of problems to deal with, and a deadline of November 1st to deal with.

I'm going to tell the leaders of the group about your web site and encourage them to use your approach and tools. I don't know if that will happen, but I think it gives us a chance at establishing a relationship with a 501c3 that the town will approve of for the transfer.
