Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some Core Values, Principles, and Assumptions to Guide the Work

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas What do we mean by values, principles, and assumptions? Values are the deeply held beliefs about how the world should be that provide our guidelines for living and behavior. Principles are the fundamental scientific, logical, or moral/ethical “truths,” arising from experience, knowledge, and (often) values, on which we base our actions and thinking. Assumptions are the next level of truths, the ones we feel we can take for granted, given the principles we have accepted.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some core values of the Community Tool Box Everyone in a community has a right to a decent quality of life. Everyone is worthy of respect and equal consideration. Any community work or research should have the ultimate aim of being useful in improving people’s lives, particularly the lives of those most in need and/or least powerful. Racism and bias – because of religion, class, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, disability, etc. – have no place in a civil society.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some core values of the Community Tool Box (cont.) Fairness demands that everyone affected by research or by an issue – all stakeholders – should have the opportunity for either direct participation or representation in planning, implementing, and analyzing the resulting research or intervention. This work isn’t about power or turf, but about the public good.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some core principles of the Community Tool Box “Fair” doesn’t mean that everyone gets the same thing; it means that everyone gets what she needs. Community work is far more likely to be successful if it involves all stakeholders from the very beginning. Leadership from within the community should be encouraged and nurtured. Community work takes careful planning at every stage of the process. Evaluation is absolutely necessary, and useful in many ways, although probably most useful as a tool for improving your effort.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some core principles of the Community Tool Box (cont.) Outcomes matter. Time is of the essence. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Make sure that your funding and other resources are adequate for what you’re trying to do. Community action should take place at the level and time to make it most effective. Community intervention should be replicable and sustainable. Community work is never done.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some core principles of the Community Tool Box (cont.) Don’t lose sight of your vision, your principles, and your values in the struggle to get things done. The real goal of community work is positive social change.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some assumptions of the Community Tool Box Just about everyone wants what’s best for the community. Once people understand others’ circumstances, they’re usually willing to help. If people are treated with respect, they usually respond the same way. Coalitions, partnerships, and collaborations are built one relationship at a time. People have to believe something is possible before they’ll work to make it happen.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Some assumptions of the Community Tool Box (cont.) People working together are better off and more successful than people working alone. The world isn’t perfect; this work is necessary to create positive social change and make it a better place for everyone.
