Case Studies

This site is brought to you through the vision and generosity of ...

... and our other sponsors and contributors

This section contains Case Studies of community programs from across North America. It includes a broad sampling of programs to offer a wide variety of approaches and tools used, locations, types of organizations and participants, activities being promoted and problems being addressed. Most of these Case Studies illustrate approaches that have worked. However, examples of potential pitfalls are also included to provide you with a realistic map of the terrain ahead.

We are actively looking for new case studies. Do you know of any that might make good additions to this site? Please let us know.

All the Case Studies and examples are described in the past tense, including programs that are still operating. If the program is still operating, the Case Study summary is written in the present tense.

The following is an alphabetical list of case studies on this site. To search for a case study by topic, location and/or other criteria, click the search button at the left hand side of your screen.
