The Community Building Institute (CBI) is offered twice a year and hosted by the Montana Campus Compact. The CBI provides the foundation for service projects to transition into sustained, community-supported programs. This training includes six (6) web-based sessions facilitated by experts in community organizing. The sessions are designed for projects in different stages of development: from the beginning assessment stages to the long-standing project seeking to evaluate its impact. The CBI Training Series is a crucial resource for the sustainable development of community-based initiatives.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
