COMMUNITY HOW TO GUIDES

The Community How To Guides are step-by-step guides to simple community development processes that DCDC has encountered while working alongside our community partners. They represent an effort to unpack challenging processes, overcome frequent hurdles and create helpful resources for neighborhood groups. The first set of guides was developed in partnership with community groups who are frequent collaborators. Baltimore’s Neighborhood Design Center subsequently created a similar set of guides relevant to their city, work and context. Enterprise Community Partners and DCDC recently completed an online create-your-own how to guide website that continues to be shared with community development practitioners nationwide.
