Stumbling on your website, I would say it has almost been the best thing that has happened to me surfing! It has given me a stepwise explanation on the rudiments of setting-up an NGO. Despite its tremendous assistance, I would like to see ready-made sample questionnaires on community assessment. Thank you.

I am using the Community Tool Box in our organization primarily as another research tool to connect me to relevant data and people interested in children's health, wellness, and physical fitness. I am also interested in developing the strategic plan to bring others of like mind along so we can instigate policy change in our city. Then I would like to use the Community Tool Box to expand a successful city program state-wide, and then nation-wide.
