Project Proposal

As part of CRC's attempts to modernize its community engagement, it is essential to provide training to community members about the processes of CRC as well as existing city engagement opportunities and how decisions are made in our neighborhoods. A comprehensive orientation on community process needs to be established as a user friendly resource on the CRC website, and supplemented by hosting community participation courses through the library.
