Material Detail

“A Portrait of Life in Northwest Reading,” a community report, was written by Keanny Rosario and Miguel Colon. It follows the model of a community report from the University of Kansas Community Tool Box, a free, online resource for those working to build healthier communities and bring about social change. As stated on the Toolkit website,

it’s important to understand community — what a community is, and the specific nature of the communities we work in. Anything we do in a community requires us to be familiar with its people, its issues, and its history. Carrying out an intervention or building a coalition are far more likely to be successful if they are informed by the culture of the community and an understanding of the relationships among individuals and groups within it.
