Abstract
Community strengthening may be defined as a sustained effort to increase involvement and partnership among members of a community to achieve common objectives. This paper surveys those approaches to community strengthening most commonly discussed in the literature and employed in the community, with a particular focus on social resilience, an under-researched yet emerging concept which offers a clear direction for work aimed at unifying communities and sustainable community betterment.
