This section of the site has been dedicated to a collection of tools that has been used by facilitators from Volunteering Queensland in their capacity building work within local communities.
The tools are by no means comprehensive nor are they linked together. The aim of this collection is to provide you with a set of resources you may wish to customise for your own purposes or to use with particular groups
Capacity Building Tools
This document has been designed for individuals in community leadership roles to reflect on their interests and how they might enhance their personal ways of working; as well as a variety of activities that could be used with members of community groups and with community workers.
In this document you will find a range of
different tools for use in building the capacity of small
community groups. The tools relate both to the sustainability
of the group itself and to enhancing group outcomes.
The following document presents a series of activities that can be used by community leaders or facilitators to help groups develop
(i) consensual decision making skills;
(ii) problem solving skills; and
(iii) facilitative skills.
