Abstract	This manual is designed primarily to assist Education Peace Corps Volunteers undertake community projects in addition to their primary job assignment. Chapter 1 discusses the factors that determine the measure of success of the project. The process, not the product, is emphasized. Chapter 2 on situational analysis outlines areas of investigation to provide the volunteer with a basic understanding of the circumstances of the community. Chapter 3 includes suggestions for determining the specific needs of the community and the interests and skills of the volunteer. Chapters 4 and 5 provide outlines for a feasibility study and the basic structure of a project plan. Chapter 6 details a six-step approach to problem solving. Chapter 7 deals with evaluation and documentation and provides sample formats. Chapter 8 contains information about technical resources, sources of financial or material aid, and project ideas by sector. Guidelines tell how to use resources appropriately.

Three appendixes offer advice from sector specialists on manuals and other resources for projects in their particular area, give short descriptions of actual field projects, and contain two case studies with discussion questions.
