Community Capacity Building
Community capacity building refers to the identification, strengthening and linking of your community's tangible resources, such as local service groups, and intangible resources like community spirit.
Your community's definition of capacity will change as the community grows but it is basically the infrastructure of individual skills and knowledge networks, organizations, businesses that a healthy community is built upon. Community capacity will allow you to get done what needs to get done.
