Community Collaboration Paper

Principles in community development are used to achieve overall goals and achieve results (Checkoway 1995). Jim Ife has identified 32 principles of community development that are seen as critical components and can be useful to develop a framework for evaluating community development (Ife 2016). Many of Jim Ife’s principles are being acted upon in this case study such as Addressing disadvantage and inequality, linking the global and the local, valuing local processes, valuing local skills and relationship and dialogue.

community debate that arises periodically in many resort communities. I have dealt with it in the past, particularly in Snowmass Village. I believe that if it is handled incorrectly it will continue to be disruptive in the political process. When handled community through appropriate outreach and dialogue (generally as described above), common ground can be found. I am somewhat familiar with the pressures that Chris Bendon has faced in this role, just as I am with other planning and development directors in Aspen back to the Sunny Vann era. I have watched it over a prolonged period. I believe that the basis of the current debate is not new to Aspen, but is has been some time since it last occurred. I am very aware that a Community Development Director’s role is significant in Aspen, as it typically is in any resort community. I have demonstrated that I do know how to help ground growth and development in alignment with a value system like the one in

Chapter one of Flora and Flora’s “Rural Communities: Legacy and Change” gives reader a view on what community and community capital is. The chapter also discusses what is considered rural and what changes have occurred in rural communities, institutions, government and public interests as well as the changes which have occurred in rural communities. Define terms

Chapter 2 of Asset Building and Community Development discusses the history of community development and how it has evolved through the years. It has had many eras which focused on different concepts around community development. There are many issues in community development which are repetitive and frequent. Participation, gender and race and the main issues considered repetitive. Overall, the chapter summarizes movements in community development throughout time.

The census demographics that I found for my community were not entirely correct in comparison with my own observation of my community. One thing I notice that was accurate is that in my neighborhood I don’t see as much elderly people, many of the people I know range from 24-35 years old. I thought I was going to see a lower estimate number for people of White race and a higher estimate number of people that are Mexican race. My neighborhood is mostly occupied with people of Mexican ethnicity. This can also be because most of them might be undocumented immigrants. My neighborhood is a Hispanic/Latino community, which clearly shows in the census that the Hispanic/Latino race makes up 2,702 of the 3,852 total population. After people of Hispanic/Latino race, the second race to live in this neighborhood are people of Black/African American race.

Before I went to community service I felt very confused and excited at the same time because when I was in the 7th and 8th grade I went to do community service but it was hard and very long. Also But this year it was even longer and I already knew how to do it but it was very boring to do it all again. Also I was very excited because I knew that we could choose to go where ever we won’t and I knew I wanted to go to help kids out. So I was very excited about that but I also was not happy that we had to do six hours. During the process of the moment happening I became more like I wanted to do it more.

With regard to Safety, it is good to get to know the neighbours incase help is needed. In the very least, to

Small community economic development: An approach to harness the knowledge within communities to develop their own economic development plan using intelligence. In the program, community leaders, local business owners, government officials and others were brought together in a facilitated program, taught about competitive intelligence and where then put in groups to develop the intelligence needed to support their regions competitive advantage. All of this was then used to develop a regional economic development plan designed by the program participants and then presented to the community at large. The results have helped the small communities better identify their true competitive advantage and the intelligence required to exploit it. Local community media have written extensively about the success of the program in their region (see Dalman 2005 for an example of the program in Humboldt Saskatchewan). A more detailed description of the program can be found in Calof, Maroux and Robinson,

To be able to foster an entrepreneurial environment in the context of a larger corporate, there should be three components that the leaders should address. For one of the components is culture. Culture awareness is huge to the economy. They should accept that failure is part of the process and the willingness to encourage and support entrepreneurs when their first idea doesn’t work well. Another component is infrastructure. This means moving beyond the notion to include the traditional and nontraditional leadership, social

Community Economic Development (CED) is a field of study that causes community engagement when working with public and private organizations to create strong communities, industries, and markets. “Community Economic Development is a multifaceted comprehensive approach to community change that is not limited to just poverty programs, nor is it synonymous with industrial recruitment”, as pointed out by Shaffer et al. (2004), “Community Economic Development is not an attempt to exploit resources to yield the maximum economic return.”

On July 18, 2017, I attended the City of Gulfport’s City Council Meeting. The council is made up of elected members of the community whose focus is the city’s goals, major projects and infrastructure improvements. The council makes decisions that range from community growth to land use to finances and strategic planning. Competencies demonstrated during the meeting were Competencies 3 and 5. Competency number 3 focuses on Advanced Human Rights and Social, Economic, and Environmental Justice. The meeting demonstrated knowledge of the ideas and concepts related to the notions of social justice, advocacy, leadership, social change, social support, social networks, and social capital consistent with a MSLC perspective. This competency was demonstrated by addressing community concerns by incorporating ideas of citizens and community leaders. Community leaders such as council members and the mayor provided support and clarification of city policies. The citizens advocated for changes in their community by bringing their issues to the city council for resolutions. Competency 5 focuses on Engaging in Policy Practice. This was demonstrated by advanced skills in social work practice including the ability to link theory, policy-practice, and research/ evaluation, and to employ leadership skills to demonstrate and promote such a linkage. This competency was demonstrated by city council members and the citizens of Gulfport, MS. They worked together to ensure

For this fall semester, the school requires each students to be a volunteer or participate in helping children, I choose to help the kids in Saint Joan of Arc catholic church. I feeling proud of myself for being helpful to this community by working in the youth room. Working with children seems easy but actually it’s not. By working with them I have gained many necessary skill that would be important later on in my life. The journey isn’t long but I have learned a lot.

The Road Home in Salt Lake City is a non-profit organization that has been established since 1923 by the Travelers Aid Society. The main mission for the Road Home is to aid with children’s programs, and to help the homeless community in Utah which includes providing the homeless community with temporary housing. I chose to be a volunteer for the children’s’ book club out of all the opportunities offered to me. The mission of the book club at the Road Home Midvale Center was to tutor children from K1-K6 grade level from any type of working class and help them develop reading skills that could be helpful for them in the future for educational purposes on what a good book is supposed to look like, and somewhat know how the structure of a future essay or assignment is supposed to look like and for fun because the children I worked with had a lot of fun reading with me. There is eight sometimes nine or ten volunteers that show up to the book club for the road home and work with any children that comes through those classroom doors, all the children could use our help when it comes to reading.

In any society or institution, success is almost invariably linked to and defined by progress and expansion. This inherent desire to grow on a large scale and with consistency originates many years ago and goes as far back as biblical times in which conquering the land and dominion control were of utmost priorityVIDEO. In recent years, we have begun to recognize that any form of achievement, long-term feats included, do not endure eternally. Therefore, effective preparation for potentially disastrous events can offer possible solutions to problems as they arise or at least provide a means to reduce the impact of turmoil from an unpredictable occurrence. The specific area of policymaking that governs planning for healthy, thriving rural

According to United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (2011) “social development can be broadly understood as processes of change that lead to improvements in human well-being, social relations and social institutions, that are equitable, sustainable, and compatible with principles of democratic governance and social justice.” To facilitate such a change community engagement is central to democratic governance and can be a cornerstone for sustainability of the social change. Community engagement is a process which can establish lasting and permanent relationships that value a collective vision and power to elicit the desired change. Consequently, communities benefit by institutionalizing the change. To provide a broader
