Idea: Community Empowerment Study Group

'This page is devoted to collecting resources for a group to use towards understanding community in the broadest sense. It will include the study of  traditional "community development" of physical community assets as well as the human assets that make communities valuable socially, politically, and economically. It will also collect study options that relate to empowering communities through community self-awareness, individual participation, and leadership.'
