How do you bring people with diverse perspectives and experiences together for dialogue, creative problem solving and generating new solutions?

Whether it’s a community health challenge, creating an advocacy campaign, launching neighborhood development or getting community alignment on a new water system, there is no simple recipe to get results everyone can agree to.

Two critical requirements for tackling larger scale change initiatives are:

• Effective participation of those who are affected by and needed to ensure change is enacted
• A thoughtful process that enables creative and comprehensive thinking

CSF can provide guidance and expertise in designing and facilitating highly participatory change efforts such as:

• Community Summits
• Multi-organization collaborative planning
• Participatory community development
• Neighborhood and community meetings
• Stakeholder input processes
• Participatory data gathering and analysis
