One-Time Volunteer Need

One of the behind the scenes teams that have been working diligently and volunteering over 25 hours so far is our Community Needs & Assets Assessment team.  The Community Needs Assessment (CNA) team was created to reach out to North Richmond to acquire an accurate, thorough understanding of the direct needs of the community. Once the data is received, it will be compiled and analyzed in comparison to the five core areas we as church have identified as areas of need.

What is a community needs assessment? A community needs assessment is a process for determining and addressing needs, or “gaps” between current conditions and desired conditions, often used for improvement projects in education/training, organizations, or communities. It involves identifying material problems/deficits/weaknesses and advantages/opportunities/strengths, and evaluating possible solutions that take those qualities into consideration.

The CNA Team is currently interviewing and surveying the key stakeholders of the community and we will be conducting similar Q & A sessions at the North Richmond Community Festival on February 20th. Join our team to find out how you can help today! To join this team or to just help out with the festival  February 20th sign up HERE.
