Who I am Use of CTB
I'm an East Bay, California resident in service to several food and land justice-oriented groups and communities. I was originally trained as a conservation ecologist but my passion for people and place has led me to develop into my fuller facilitator, organizer, and advocate self, along with the scientist part of me.
I have drawn on multiple components of the Tool Box to develop research/analysis protocols, develop interview questions, and guide project frameworks. The huge difference the Tool Box has helped me with is doing all of that with a solid foundation and consistent orientation in equitable, respectful community participation. So very grateful!

At the moment I am working on strategic planning issues, and your toolbox includes useful reference material. I will likely adapt some of this for the Government context / perspective, but a lot of what I have read on your website applies beyond community organisations already, so will prove very helpful as I develop my thinking on strategies in general. If my work progresses further, I may adapt some of the slides and handouts for use in Workshops.

6 Junio 2019 Lauren Azotea Erie, PA 16507 United States
Who I am Use of CTB
I’m a VISTA serving with my local Health Department (Erie, PA) to create a food council for our region. It is a really big job. Initially, a VISTA was supposed to support a full-time coordinator, but our funding fell through and it all became my job. In one year, I had to figure out who the stakeholders were, what they were up to, convince them to work together, create a coalition, support the creation of an organization - leadership, mission, by-laws, operating procedures for the council at large and three working groups, and promote the group within my community and to policy makers, all with minimal professional experience to my name.
The Community Toolbox held my hand throughout my whole VISTA year. I encourage all my members to reference it when they aren't sure of their next steps. The part about developing leadership has been especially helpful because I wouldn’t have considered it on my own. Soon I'll exit service, and my members all seem confident and prepared to take on the next steps without me, which is how a VISTA defines success!
