CTB's information on Logic Modeling has been particularly helpful in educating teams on the foundations of creative output and creative process. We are looking forward to accessing your library of helpful information in the immediate and long term future. I am also curious about partnership opportunities, or official Community Toolbox Certifications - is this something that is available for private firms to pursue?

I came across Community Tool Box quite some while ago and now I have come across it once again. I have not read every bit of it but have browsed the table of contents and see that most of the stuff, almost all of it, can be used for my purposes, I am working to bring about alliance of small Churches that are not part of big denominations. I am also working for the bonded labour working at the brick kilns and agriculture farms. And there are other things also. I was looking for some ready made stuff that, with, may be, some modification, can be used.
I am writing to to express my gratification for this great work of yours. I have subscribed to ctb eNewsletter and look forwarded to benefiting from it. I will share any good stories that will emerge.

I am a 36 year old human female who is ready for human kind to stand for a just world free of government, money, corruption, corporations, and evil in general.
How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
I'd like to start a boycott of money and banks to end the use of the monetary enslavement of the human race. We have the technology and resources to grow as a society without money and corruption. This may also include a boycott of gas, jobs, shopping, and television. Billionaires and corporations rule this world and it's gone on for far too long. People are starving, they're homeless, they die from poisoning of waters and air and lack of healthcare. We need to stand together and resist our governments that put us in this position.
