We will focus on the who, what, where, when, why, and how of building and maintaining strong relationships. We will explore the vital parts of creating a thriving community. The specifics of relationship building in the community is something that is usually only touched on at the surface level if it's touched at all. This course will be taught by the author of the book being used to teach the concepts, ideas, perspectives, and critical analysis skills necessary to build a community. “The Chasm” is a book written by Patrick Irvine to provide an introduction into the many problems Black Men and Women face and some of their origins. While it does provide some solutions, it’s intended use is as a starting reference point for further research and analysis.
