Social Science in Community Projects

Creating Positive Change Locally

Social science knowledge helps us design and carry out projects that benefit our communities. It teaches us to identify needs, involve different groups, and measure success.

Steps to Success

  • Identify a Need: What problem do people want solved?
  • Work Together: Get input from all kinds of people.
  • Make a Plan: Decide what to do and how.
  • Measure Results: See what worked and what can improve.

Why It Works

Projects based on social science are more likely to succeed because they are built on understanding people’s real needs and behaviors.

Examples

  • Organizing a recycling program at school after surveying students’ habits.

  • Running a neighborhood clean-up with help from local families.
