本文作者進入一個花蓮新成立的社區，觀察其運作的狀況。發現社區理事長及幹部並未受過社區工作有關訓練，社區的運作是由理事長主導，幹部加以配合。幾次節慶活動下來，獲得不少肯定，讓社區有個好的開始，也讓鄰近的社區倍感威脅，理事長擔心社區做得太好會遭來嫉妒，表現了「初生之犢不怕虎」的自信。作者進入社區提供的輔導措施包括：協助修正社區需求調查問卷、與社區幹部討論社區SWOT分析、需求調查與能力問卷的結果，並透過東華與東吳大學碩士生的移地教學，提供理事長進行社區簡報與導覽的機會，檢視理事長掌握社區特色的能力。這個社區案例可以看出，一個新成立的社區其領導者的企圖心很重要，可以帶起幹部的熱誠。理事長本身擁有資源，可以讓活動經費不虞匱乏。以社區節慶活動吸引民眾參與，很容易在短時間得到成效，但社區人員能力尚嫌不足，須經由訓練過程加以培養，才能讓社區永續發展。
