Providing concrete examples for citizens and government officials, Diers describes a successful program to support community self-help projects and a community-driven planning process that involved 30,000 people.

Building on the lessons of early labor leaders, civil rights volunteers, and political activists, Diers, a liaison to Seattle communities for the University of Washington Office of Partnerships, has developed his own models and strategies for community development.

B&w photos of real community self-help projects in Seattle are included.
