Community development is so much more than blueprints and zoning. It's about cultivating spaces where people can flourish. Spaces with enough green space to play and relax. Spaces that offer economic opportunities that allow people to realize their dreams and aspirations. Places where people have access to quality, culturally responsive food, education, healthcare, and housing. At Clark, you will learn about the power structures that shape community spaces, and how to create processes in which community members have a say in those power structures.<br><br>Community development happens in the context of relationships. As practitioners, we cant impose our own visions on communities. Rather, through community-engaged learning, students collaborate with community members and other stakeholders to understand each community's unique strengths, and then collectively create strategies so that people's dreams can take root and grow.<br><br>Grounded in principles and practices of ethical community engagement, we provide students with knowledge and skills in finance, project management, monitoring & evaluation, geo-spatial analysis, and non-profit leadership. These skills are needed to be a practitioner who can be a partner and ally in a community's transformation.<br><br>10-unit track completed in three semesters (Fall or Spring start)
