Chapter 3 : Taking a Deeper Community Approach

The End Result

The end result of carrying out a detailed community needs assessment, and involving a wider group of people in the process, might be:

• A clear community decision to launch a Big Brothers Big Sisters program

• A clear community decision to launch a Boys and Girls Club

• A clear community decision to launch some other kind of program

• A clear community decision to make changes in existing programs.

In any of these situations, you will now need to develop a viable program plan as described in Chapter 2 and Appendix M.
