1) FINDING THE RIGHT LEAD ORGANIZATION AND LEADERS THAT YOU CAN TRUST 2) LACK OF A COMMON VISION, OR THE INABILITY TO AGREE ON SPECIFIC GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTIVITIES 3) HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY AND FAILURE TO ACT 4) AND FINALLY THE COST Barriers To achieve our goals it’s going to take work and cooperation from the community. We understand that there are probably hesitations due to some obstacles that may arise. Some examples of some barriers to our success include:
