Would you please guide me in how my organization can help a Latino community from a vulnerable community in East Bay, Parents are apathetic in getting involve in they children education. The majority of parents don't participate in school meetings, school district board meetings, educational class etc.
How we can turn around the parents indifferent behavior to increase parents participation?

Dear Advisor of Community Tool Box,

A small "public library" committee is trying to start action to that goal in Byron, MN, a rich, professional suburb of Rochester Minnesota with the Mayo Clinic. Our community started as a small 600 pop. rural farm community and has grown over the years to a bedroom community of Mayo Clinic professionals, senior citizens, and a superb flourishing elite school system. We would like to have a small library. We have received funding support of the Byron Community Foundation to develop an information sheet for distribution to Byron organizations for a later community support survey. I have read your helps and they're great, but wonder if you might have any specific info for our situation. appreciate your wonderful website.

Does one of your chapters address the reluctance staff may feel to encourage wide participation because someone may say or do something that's off message or reflects poorly on the organization? Along the same line, how about staff reluctance to involve people because there can be blow-back if staff ends up negotiating a resolution that some campaign activists don't like.

Hello, I am a consultant writing a strategic plan for a non-profit. One deliverable from the RFP is to "create assessment tools/methods for evaluating outcomes, goals, strategies and programs." I am confused about what form this should take--is this a one page series of assessment questions that will evaluate all of these, or a multi-page document with questions about each? Do you know of any samples that I could refer to? I know what an assessment tool is generally but I'm not clear on what it means in this case. Thank you!

Are you aware of any survey or a bank of questions I can use in a survey I could develop with my staff, parents and students to assess our level of cultural competence, implicit biases and institutionally racist practices?

Hi CTB,
I live in a small town in central CA but I grew up in.... Kansas!!!!! So I had to write to you. My dad was a prof at KSU. No kidding. Kansas was a wonderful place to grow up. Wouldn't trade it for anything!

Here's my question: I haven't spent a lot of time reading everything on your site; there is SO much to read! I'm hoping you can point me in the best direction. I am a parent of two school aged children. Our town is about 40% White, 55% Latino, 5% Punjabi. 70% of the kids in our schools qualify for free/reduced meals, so money is an issue for most folks. Many of the Latinos and Punjabi adults do not speak English. Our schools are in pretty poor shape, both in terms of academics and facilities. In Nov. '18, some people (of which I am one) would like to pass a school bond or a tax so that we can raise money to fix the schools and haev better programs. However, we all agree that the community is not unified and there is a lack of trust between different groups. In addition, our largest voting majority are elderly or "empty nesters", so they no longer have a child in school.

I believe that we need to figure out how to build trust between the groups and unite the community, so that we can pass a bond or a tax for the schools.

HOW can we build community and trust between such a wide variety of people, who are different in age, culture/ethnicity, socioeconomics, and language, and who have very different goals?

Thank you very much!

We are looking to start a youth peer group for 14-24 year olds living with a mental illness. I would like to have a contract for the youth to sign when they first join stating they will be respectful and no aggression. Is there anything I could use as a guideline. While I want this to be their group I feel there needs to be some guidelines and responsibilities for the participants.
