The Community Ecosystem

SIP MINDSET

Once you have determined how to address a problem, you must identify what resources are available within the community’s ecosystem to help you resolve it.

The Skill

The Community On Demand™ Community Ecosystem skill card is used when you need to identify the socio-economic conditions and available resources that define your community’s level of health, wellness and sustainability.

The Task

Use the Community On Demand™ Socio-Economic Condition Cards to explore your community and determine which socio-economic conditions are positively or negatively impacting your community’s ecosystem.

Service Goals

As you begin your STEAM Investigative Process™ for this challenge, demonstrate mastery of your leadership skills by using the Community On Demand™ Community Ecosystem skill card to:

• Research the cause of the socio-economic indicators that are negatively impacting your community and communicating with the groups in your community that are already addressing them
• Map local resources you’ve discovered within your community with the Community Ecosystem Mapping Grid Activity Worksheet
• Develop an impact solution that addresses a socio-economic indicator within your community
