Go to the secure Community Development wiki page for non-public resources.

This document is the second stage revision of the training modules CEC has designed for small, regional, and specialized trainings. This document will continue to be revised over the next few months, but if anyone is interested in conducting a business training at their site they should consult these documents now (on the Secure site) and follow-up with any CEC member.

Community development, though a primary task of volunteers in the Community-Based Organizational Development (CBOD) program, is an activity in which all volunteers are actively engaged. Regardless of where we work, be it the classroom, the SAO, or countryside, volunteers assist in empowering groups and individuals in their communites by providing skills (through trainings, networking, Success Case Replication, NGO collaboration, etc.) that attempt to effect positive sustainable development or change.

Through our activities as teachers and development workers, the projects we pursue in coordination with other volunteers or the programs we establish through Global Intitiative Groups (GIGs), Peace Corps Thailand volunteers have repeatedly demonstrated that community development, like education, is by no means the purview of a specific program group.

In order to better organize volunteer efforts in community development, this page will perform the following functions:

• Serve as a parent link for the Community Enterprise Committee (CEC)
• Provide a Central Repository for consistent documentation of volunteers' past, present, and future projects:
• Best Practices Project Template: a template for entering information in the project database
  
• Best Practices Project Database
• Volunteer Potential Project Lists: identify resources (ie. enterprise groups, tourism locations, organic farming) in volunteer communties for future collaboration/ assistance
• Document simple, low-cost Project Ideas
• Detail the relative skillsets of volunteers in all groups
• Catalog Thai NGOs and Organizations that may be able to provide project assistance/ support
• Summarize the One Tambon, One Product (OTOP) program
