The model
Presence before theory.
Participants learn by entering real communities, serving people directly, listening, observing, reflecting, and building from what the community teaches them.
ATPT COMMUNITY FIELD ACTION MODEL · VERSION 1.5
The field is the classroom. This is the community-engagement curriculum At The People's Table uses to turn direct service, listening, reflection, and follow-through into repeatable learning and action.
The model
Participants learn by entering real communities, serving people directly, listening, observing, reflecting, and building from what the community teaches them.
Core cycle
One curriculum can be used with youth, adults, volunteers, organizations, faith communities, schools, service teams, and other groups doing real community work.
Our standard
We listen because people's answers matter. We serve beside people, not above them. And when the handout ends, we bring what we learned back to the Table and build from it.
A.W.A.R.E. Field Method
Where am I? Who is here? What is happening?
Notice people, needs, strengths, surroundings, and what is being said.
Talk with people, not at people. Respect boundaries.
Help where you can. Adapt. Do not assume what someone needs.
What did I see? What did I hear? What should we do next?
A.W.A.R.E. Field Method — Created by Richard Chiu, Director of Community Growth & Partnerships, At The People's Table. Integrated into the Pull Up. Listen. Feed. Build. curriculum by Markus Moss.
