Understand Your Community
This module provides a guide to getting started in community building and is divided into two topics:
Each topic provides practical resources, case studies and related reading.
Before acting on an issue, it's important to have as much background information as possible. Communities are built in many different ways, so it helps if you have a vision of what you want your community to be so that you can take steps to make it happen. You need to know about contacts, how to identify your community's needs and strengths and how to use existing information and data.
