Who are the People in your neighborhood? Community Asset Mapping
Presented by NJ Volunteer Organizations Active After a Disaster (NJVOAD) for the New Jersey Cultural Alliance for Response
Many community organizations focus on the needs or deficits of the community. Every community has needs and deficits that nonprofit organizations should attend to. Nevertheless, it is also possible to focus on assets and strengths -- emphasizing what the community does have, not what it does not. Those assets and strengths can be used to meet those same community needs; they can improve community life. To draw upon a community's assets, we first have to find out what they are. So in this workshop, we will focus on identifying community assets and resources. We will also show how they can be harnessed to meet community needs and to strengthen the community as a whole.
