FRAMING COMMUNITY BUILDING AND SHARED LEADERSHIP
Skip to next block

What do we mean by community building, what is shared leadership, and why is it essential for successful community work? How can we understand our own leadership and be attentive to where it might grow?

Jeroen Nijkamp

Comprehensive Community Development recognizes that no one approach to community building and neighborhood development will achieve the outcomes that residents and community organizations hope to see. It is an integrated approach that combines a focus on issues across Family Income and Wealth, Housing, Youth and Education, Safe and Healthy Environments, Economic Development, and Leadership and Advocacy to realize the promise of our communities. Comprehensive Community Development is community-driven, solutions-oriented, and builds on the existing assets in a community.

In comprehensive community development work, we emphasize the importance of shared leadership. We believe that a leader is not a single person or a hero doing everything and anything to accomplish a task or transform a neighborhood. A leader is a person who is passionate about their community, who is willing to bring their skills and to learn, who is committed to action and (most importantly) dedicated to acting with others to outline a vision, set goals and produce results. Community work is too challenging and too dynamic for any one person to act as “the leader”: we are the leader, demonstrating the old adage that “many hands make light work.” It may not be easy, but it will be more successful and more lasting because we are working together.

The Community Canvas
Skip to next block

Through out the flow of this Challenge, we will follow the steps of the whiteboard template below, the Community Canvas!

Click to see the full whiteboard
Community identity: Who are WE and what do WE believe in?
Skip to next block

Strong communities should have a clear and explicit sense of who they are, why they exist and what they stand for. A sense of identity builds the core of a successful community and informs all other elements around it.

At the IDENTITY stage, the flow involves themes and questions that are needed to be made and worked upon are:

Purpose: Why does the community exist?

Member Identity: Who is the community for?

Values: What is important to us as a community?

Success Definition: How does the community define success?

Brand: How does the community express itself?

The whiteboard and the steps below will guide you on this first step to start building strong and active communities.
