“The Community Tool Box is easily the most comprehensive, rigorous, and user-friendly ‘field manual’ for anyone involved in social change – including community leaders and organizers, scholars, policymakers, philanthropists, and others – to understand the how, what, when, and where of community transformation. CTB brings the state of the science of community health and development to the many sectors needed to create positive change. Soup-to-nuts, CTB offers a blueprint for anyone seeking to harness community strengths and resources of resiliency to build healthier spaces and places.”
