Where We Conduct the Activities

Community centers provide a central hub where community members can gather for surveys, interviews, focus groups, workshops, and other data collection activities. These centers are often easily accessible and familiar to community members, fostering a sense of comfort and familiarity. They will be ideal for implementing programs and initiatives.

Nonprofit organizations working in the community often have dedicated spaces for community engagement activities. These spaces will be utilized for surveys, interviews, focus groups, and workshops, benefiting from the organization's established relationships with community members. CBOs provide for collaboration and partnership in the implementation of programs.

In some cases, home visits may be ideally suited for some activities for individuals who may face barriers to participation or prefer the comfort and privacy of their own homes. Home visits require building trust and respecting privacy while collecting valuable information and/or implementing
programs in a personalized setting.

 Schools can also serve as venues for
data collection activities and program implementation, especially when involving students or families. School settings are conducive to surveys, workshops, and focus groups, as they offer a familiar and inclusive environment for participants. They are however more difficult to engage due to the many layers of protocols and policies that are usually in place.

Public Spaces: Various activities can also take place in public spaces within
the community, such as local parks, libraries, or community squares. These
locations may attract a diverse range of participants and provide a more casual
and open setting for community engagement.
