The Little Field Guide for Sparking Community-Led Change: 10 Essential Questions to Build Civic Confidence and Momentum
Creating change in communities is hard. Getting people and resources in motion and keeping them aligned is a big challenge. Creating something sustainable is even tougher. Generating results can be downright elusive. What are we to do? How can we get started in ways that increase the likelihood of long-term success?
If we want to spark community-led change, then how we do the work is as important as what we do. And the early steps we take matter—a lot. Drawing on over 35 years of experience leading change in communities across all 50 states and 40 countries worldwide, Harwood reveals ten essential questions that are often overlooked in community change initiatives. With inspiring stories of transformation and actionable strategies, this field guide is a must-read for those ready to step forward, meet communities where they are, and forge sustainable momentum that creates a new trajectory of hope.
