A lack of community social capital is often indicative of numerous social, economic, and health-related problems afflicting a community. This paper explores how a leadership development training project might affect community social capital in the context of a heavily underserved, immigrant, Latino community. A review of the literature regarding social capital, structural violence, leadership training, action research, and community-based participatory research will examine the factors that contribute to the success of such a project. The research will then provide a theoretical framework to design a community leadership development training program to enhance community social capital. The ultimate goal of the community leadership development-training program is to provide a method of support for an eventual community-based participatory research program that will support a comprehensive community assessment.
KEYWORDS: social capital, leadership, action research, community-based participatory research, leadership, structural violence.
