2 what do you think are the reason why the respondents have those answers?
3 as a student what programs can you recommend addressing their concerns?
Thank you for writing to us. If we understand your question correctly, we can say this:
1. In conducting our Ask an Advisor service over the past 15+ years, and responding to nearly 2000 questions, it’s hard for us to say that any particular concerns are prevalent. That’s because we hear from a very wide variety of community builders from all over the world, working in an equally wide variety of different community settings, and with an equally wide variety of concerns of their own.
2. All of them want to make their communities better and stronger, and that’s the common reason for their writing to us. But the particular circumstances they are in, and challenges they face are all different.
3. To address these concerns, we at the Community Tool Box attempt to provide some general information and ideas that will help community builders in their work. We hope and believe they are helpful.
Of course, you can also learn a great deal from other programs in your studies in school, as well as from books, articles, and reports in the field, and other resources available to you. There’s no shortage of good information you can learn from and apply.
These combined resources, together with experience you acquire in practice, will all help make you more effective in the community work you may be doing later in life. We wish you great success in the work ahead of you.
