Every community has issues or opportunities that need to be addressed. The expert knowledge of community members could be the key to creating lasting change. By making community members into facilitators, Making Change: Facilitating Community Action suggests they can guide community members through the process of making change and to help them determine their goals and methods.

The aim of this book is to enable facilitators to identify concerns and address, enable and foster change at the local level through effective facilitation. This book follows a six-stage model for creating change. Beginning with issue awareness, it continues through getting to know the team they are working with, seeking information on the issue and community, through facilitating the planning and community development through evaluation. This book focuses on the human side of the change process while also teaching the practical skills necessary for individuals to reach their goal.

Making Change is for people interested in making change to improve their community, including students, community activists, local government and educational leaders.

Jeanne Anderson is a professor emerita of St Cloud State University, St Cloud, Minnesota. She began facilitating while working in the business world in training and performance improvement. She found through her volunteer work that there were many overlapping practices between change initiatives in business and the community. Maurine Pyle is a Quaker facilitator with over 40 years of social change experience in a wide variety of professional and volunteer settings. She is committed to a form of leadership known as servant leadership. She holds master's degrees in Organizational Development and Linguistics.
