Through our roles as coordinators, conveners and researchers community development staff ultimately seeks to promote community development in communities, ensure fair and impartial access to justice in underserved society and assist society in understanding their responsibilities.
Community development seeks to empower individuals and groups of people with the skills they need to effect change within their communities. These skills are often created through the formation of social groups working for a common agenda. Community developers must understand both how to work with individuals and how to affect communities' positions within the context of larger social institutions.
