Change occurs at many levels, and while transforming one’s community may at first seem daunting, anyone can participate in making a difference (especially if they are well equipped with the right tools and knowledge)!
The Community Toolbox is a free, easy-to use comprehensive guide to creating change. It was developed by researchers at the University of Kansas and is comprised of 46 chapters and 300 learning modules. Chapter 25 of the toolbox is entitled Changing Policies. The next chapter is called Changing the Physical and Social Environment. One section (ch. 26 sec. 6) is dedicated solely to Improving Parks and Other Community Facilities. At the bottom of this section, one can find a list of organizations who work to improve parks.
The toolbox also features chapters devoted to advocacy (ch. 30-35), evaluation (36-39), acquiring grants (ch. 42-44) and institutionalizing initiatives (ch. 46). For each section, a Powerpoint presentation that highlights important points is available.
Best of all, this resources is available in English, Spanish and Arabic!
