MSU Extension’s Six-Step Community Change Model
The MSU Extension Community Change model helps community champions create thoughtful, lasting improvements that make it easier for people to eat well and be active. It offers six simple steps to guide planning, action, and reflection, along with practical examples and tools you can use right away.
Health is shaped by the places where people live, learn, work, and play. When communities improve access to healthy food, safe places to move, and supportive environments, small changes can lead to lasting benefits for individuals and communities.
The Community Change model will help your group make simple, realistic changes that save time, reduce the need for retraining, and keep healthy practices in place. It will help you support the people you serve with everyday improvements, meet funding or quality requirements, and boost community wellbeing.
Because the process is flexible, you can start where you are, build on what already works, and choose actions that fit your capacity.
