The course will analyze the systems that measure community assets and resources; will explore the means of identifying and approaching potential collaborative community partners; and focus on the development of joint proposals and/or business plans. It will also provide an overview of the role of volunteer managers and agency leadership of community organizations that provide resources in the development of a collaborative, capacity building community. An ecological approach will be used to analyze the full range of human service agency services: health, social, educational, diagnostic, enrichment, religious, civic, and legal. Students will have an opportunity to do field work with agency staff on assigned community projects. Students who have received undergraduate credit for this course may not re-take it for graduate hours credit.
