How do I start a community planning group?

I'm interested in starting a community planning group. Where do I begin?

Starting a community planning group involves several steps. First, identify the purpose and goals of your group. What issues do you want to address?

I want to focus on improving local parks and recreational areas.

Great! Next, gather a group of interested individuals. You can reach out through social media, local events, or community boards. Have you thought about how to recruit members?

I could use social media and maybe host an informational meeting.

That sounds like a solid plan! Once you have a group, you can start discussing your goals, creating a mission statement, and planning your first projects.
