Conducting a comprehensive community needs assessment is essential for understanding the unique challenges and resources of a community. Engaging in casual conversations is often insufficient; instead, implement structured assessment tools that invite diverse voices, particularly from marginalized groups. Choose participants thoughtfully, remain open-minded, and ensure broad representation. This session addresses the importance of community assessments, their value in initiating projects, and considerations for extending assessment requirements in District Grants. Join us in exploring these essential strategies for impactful community engagement.
