The information and proposals are designed to use for people of all ages and family types. They are also intended to enable individuals and groups to revitalize their neighborhoods, stabilize the family unit, address poverty and violence, restore the dream of a happy childhood for young people, and improve the quality of education, all without spending more money. Information and ideas are presented to allow readers make the transition from their current reality to a reclaimed neighborhood in which public elementary schools become the neighborhood campuses. The neighborhood campus offers the possibility of free centers for child care, parent training, after-school arts and recreation, health and welfare services, senior citizens' programs, and 24-hour crisis intervention. The initial chapters explain the background of communities, why they have evolved in the ways they have, and trends and issues related to child care, education, and senior citizens. Additional chapters focus on the overall concept of a neighborhood campus as well as on each of these centers. The author is the cofounder of an organization in Seattle that promotes social change through the neighborhood campus concept. Case examples, appended guidelines, index, and 96 references
