Discussion 2 Assignment and peer response

In this course, you will be required to
submit a Community Need Project Proposal designed to hypothetically
improve some aspect of your community. This Community Need Project will
require you to identify a need, develop an approach to solving this
problem, and create a measure to evaluate the effectiveness of your
approach.

1. What are problems or needs in your community that might lend
   themselves to your class project? Who are the important people within
   your concept? For the discussion this week, please submit two to three project ideas to the class for feedback.
2. Jacqueline Novogratz and Chef Chad
   Houser from the Momentum Café advocate for providing people with certain
   tools for solving problems. How would you describe their
   approaches? What aspects of these approaches can you potentially apply
   to the problem/need you are considering?

Remember
that when we are thinking in terms of our community it does not have to
be the whole city, it could be at your church, at your child’s school,
in your neighborhood, etc.

Here is one example from a small town.
One rural town in New Hampshire saw a need to have trick or treating in
their community. The houses were spread too far apart for kids to trick
or treat in almost all areas of the town. A group got formed “trunk or
treat” in which town’s people drove to the town hall and with candy in
the trunks of their cars and jack-o-lanterns by their cars. Kids could
get lots of candy and those folks could participate in a traditional
Halloween activity. The point of this example is that the problem or
need does not have to be monumental, just something that improves the
life of a community.
