Building a Team
Most of us are aware that mobilizing key community people and organizations
around your efforts helps to ensure that your program gets recognized. It
also helps you gain leverage and builds support for long-term survival in
the community. Successful community organizing has been compared to a relay
race. You introduce the baton: the community members pick it up and run
with it, passing it from hand to hand, covering much more ground than you
could hope to do alone. Although this section refers to coalitions, it
is not meant to imply that coalitions are the only successful model for
developing community support. The worksheets and checklists in this section
can be used with any model.
