Cecilia Tojo Soler and Susan Jensen Kimmel
Members of the Welcoming Communities Project of New Ulm, Sleepy Eye and Springfield have been meeting via Zoom examining the book, “Practicing Community Development” by Donald W. Littrell and Doris P. Littrell. Our community groups were privileged to have Stephen Jeanetta, 2nd edition co-author of “Practicing Community Development,” join our Zoom.
An important first point to realize is that each community is made up of systems of people that determine the future of their communities. How systems/people work together to reach that future is the heart of community development. Community systems include Health Care, Housing, Education, Transportation, Family Life, Criminal Justice/Safety, Employment/Income, Religious Organizations, City Management. Community development is people focused and people directed. All systems are interconnected as all people influence the quality of community life.
