Community Compass is a dynamic community needs assessment tool at the heart of The Salvation Army’s mission to serve and uplift entire communities. More than just identifying needs, it fosters deep connections between Ministry Units and the people they serve. By partnering with communities as co-creators of change, Community Compass enables Ministry Units to uncover key needs, challenges, and opportunities. This powerful tool empowers leaders to make informed decisions that lead to meaningful, lasting transformation.
