Community development happens in the context of relationships. As practitioners, we can’t impose our own visions on communities. 而, through community-engaged learning, students collaborate with community members and other stakeholders to understand each community’s unique strengths, and then collectively create strategies so that people’s dreams can take root and grow.

These skills are needed to be a practitioner who can be a partner and ally in a community’s transformation.
