I'm a third year graduate student taking "Leveraging Organizational, Community and Political Systems" class this semester. The Community Toolbox is part of the course curriculum, so I expect to use it throughout reading assignments. In addition, a quick pass at the various resources indicates the site as an excellent resource for research projects and for practical use after graduation.
