Extract

Debate over how one “does” Community Resource Development (CRD) extension undoubtedly dates back to the moment the field consisted of more than a single practitioner. And the debate goes on. Gratto recently outlined five roles the public policy educator can assume, ranging from one with a pure “process” orientation to one where the subject matter is everything. Another recent publication describes six approaches to community development.
