Community Development Working Groups
The Social Research and Planning Council is committed to seeing real change happen in our communities through the research they do! Based on research findings, the SRPC makes recommendations for community improvement in each report they do.
In some cases, a working group of community representatives are brought together to begin a community dialogue about the recommendations that are given and to find a way of implementing them to bring about improvement.
Want your organization to be part of our social planning inventory? Take the survey today!
