This report on Community University partnerships is worth having a look at:
"The stories that unfold in the following pages are sometimes poignant, sometimes inspiring, but always instructive...
...it features 5 examples of successful initiatives that teach leadership skills to individual community residents and 5 examples of successful efforts to build the capacity of community-based organizations....
Every grantee interviewed confirmed one basic truth: Initiatives aimed at helping people at the local level gain the skills and capacity they need for community building have no chance of succeeding if community partners are not involved in early discussions about the supports needed and how they will be provided."
