(such as a needs assessment). Use the course material to assist you.Why would you do this type of assessment, i.e., what is your rationale? Where would you go for information and why? * Be specific about where you would find/access information for your community assessment – and why you selected these sources etc…Ask yourself the following questions:What is going on in the selected community?What are the identified community’s strengths and/or challenges (or limitations)?What organizations or services may already be involved &/or available in this community?Who are the gatekeepers and stakeholders?
