General Aspects :
These guidelines aim to define an organizational model in accordance with the new stage that is starting, driving the growth of The Community in matters of participating members, action in the environment, and geographical and cultural scope.
The Community (for human development) is an organization that has a universal character, in this sense its members, independently of the place where they act, feel part of the same humanizing worldwide action that is expressed in a diverse yet convergent manner.
Its forms of participation are open and flexible. It is an organization with a human base in which each person takes responsibility for what they initiate and construct. The basic structures and foundations of The Community are those “Community Base Teams” that develop their activities at the level of the neighborhood, groups of friends, schools, universities, city level, in a virtual way, through the internet, etc.
The initial groups of TC (“TC promoting groups”) are coordinated, in the first instance, by the person who created them and who developed them according to the proposed objectives in the official documents and materials of The Community. These “promoting groups” are constituted as “Community Base Teams” when they achieve a minimal development (approximately 10 full members), permanence (periodic meetings) and when they elect one of their members through a direct vote to fulfill the functions of team coordination and contact with the “Coordination Team” of The Community in their country or internationally if the former doesn’t exist.
