Community building is an approach to improving conditions, expanding opportunities, and sustaining positive change by developing, enhancing, and sustaining the relationships and social networks of those who make up the community. It is not a program as much as it is a framework for addressing interrelated issues. Comprehensive community driven efforts offer hope for achieving long term success.
