Description of resource
Subscribe to this e-mail newsletter to receive updates on the Community Tool Box. Currently, the core of the Tool Box is the "how-to tools." These how-to sections use simple, friendly language to explain how to do the different tasks necessary for community health and development. For instance, there are sections on leadership, strategic planning, community assessment, advocacy, grant writing, and evaluation to give just a few examples. Each section includes a description of the task, advantages of doing it, step-by-step guidelines, examples, checklists of points to review, and training materials.

Additionally, you will find links to hundreds of other helpful web pages and listservs in areas such as funding, health, education, and community issues. A trouble shooting guide provides aid in troubleshooting, and a community grant application provides support in preparing requests for funders. You can also purchase materials created by team members in the General Store. Finally, some of their partners have home pages on the Community Tool Box.
