“CBI
is an invaluable partner in Price Hill Will’s community
development efforts. They bring a wealth of knowledge and a dedicated
staff committed to engaging citizens in order to make all of our
neighborhoods better places to live, work and play.”

"My
introduction to the art (or science) of community development
began with my first CBI seminar some five years ago! CBI was pre-LISC
for me, although Renee Mahaffey Harris (LISC PD) paid for my attendance
as an Avondale resident. Since then, I've attempted to utilize
CBI's resources to continue to develop my craft! I find the peer-to-peer
sessions to be fascinating, the staff to be kind and highly skilled,
and the concept of a Community Building Institute to be of great
need, particularly in urban communities like mine."

The
Community Building Institute focuses on asset-based community
planning that promotes development that is driven by the community
rather than by outside agencies. This emphasizes the community's
existing physical assets and the passion of its residents rather
than simply constructing buildings and fixing problems.
