1. Define community development.
Community development is a broad term applied to the practices of civic leaders, activists, involved citizens and professionals to improve various aspects of local communities.
Community development seeks to empower individuals and groups of people by providing these groups with the skills they need to effect change in their own communities. Community developers must understand both how to work with individuals and how to affect communities' positions within the context of larger social institutions.
