Community Capacity Building and Asset Mapping© R.A.F.F. It Up
- Making Community Building Happen Workshop


We all want to see our community as a place where people are happy and healthy. Everyone can make this happen! This 2 day workshop will show you a path that you probably have not tried, one that opens doors to new opportunities and new friends. There is nothing magical in the workshop, but you may be surprised - your thinking may change, paths and solutions may be found in unusual places - at your own doorstep, in your backyard, under your nose, or even in your own shoes!!! The workshop shows you a versatile and flexible path where you can begin your journey toward a shared vision of your community by focussing on the assets and gifts of the community and its citizens, and finding ways to mobilize these.
