    Successful programs address the needs and wants of the community. To find out what a community needs and what it wants, conduct a community assessment.

     

  • 2. Identify Priorities, Goals & Objectives


    After conducting the community assessment you are ready to get focused. Now you prioritize, write goals and objectives and decide what interventions to offer.
