I am a student and this has been one of the best (if not the best) websites I have been required to use. Now it has turned into a resource that I can't do without.

Thank you.

I would love to share that after a fast paced year of our organization making a splash in our city, we have realized that we have had a lot of missing gaps. Finding your website/resources has been a God send! In fact, we would love to chat with you and see if you would be open to us sharing about your services and making it one of our recommended resources to our community network.

We would love to chat and share more about how much this has been such a cool resource! Thank you to all who have gone through the work to make this available!

I am a PhD student at Concordia Seminary in St.Louis. I am from India and was working among the group called Dalits previously know as untouchables. I recently found this tool and it is really awesome. I feel it really showed me how to work for the community in an organized and systematic way.I am looking forward to use it in my community setting.
How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
The Dalit community's biggest challenges are poverty, malnutrition and excessive drinking habit. So I am planning to share it with my colleagues back in India and use it to help the community.

I am a late bloomer. I sent myself back to school at 54 to put a name on what I've learned in my nursing career. I work with non-federally recognized Native American people who are interspersed in a variety of community settings. Starting at point A was a transition of learning and developing relationships. It has been a non-linear experience.
How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
The information the site offers is deeply appreciated. Very concise and condensed library of material that I know I've probably crossed in the past several years. Now, hoping to graduate with a DNP in Transcultural nursing, I've found myself referring to cultural competence section to see how I've done. If I did the right things and can enjoy integrity in what we've accomplished so far. Although the outlines and chapters are quite linear, it's good that its an "open book" (laughing) or else, I started off with the wrong foot. The tool box provides a system of checks, balances and next thoughts when I need that extra boost.

To gain more skills and practice what I am learning, I am volunteering to our community via the Barefoot Programme which supports primary educators with the confidence, knowledge, skills and resources to teach computer science. My role is to deliver in-school CPD Workshop to the teachers.

And so, Chapter 12 of this Community Tool Box is giving me helpful ideas on how to plan, design and deliver trainings and workshops.

I will also endeavour other tools for my personal CPD which will also be useful in serving my community.
