Abstract
Asset-based community development is an updated version of a time honored concept for building community capacity. The premise is similar to an old fashion barn raising. On the day of the barn raising the community would join together to share the work. But, they didn’t just share work, they would share their knowledge, their resources, and they would build friendships and collaborations. More importantly, they understood that together they were stronger and could accomplish larger goals than any one individual.
