Abstract: There is a small but growing amount of research on the use the Community Capitals Framework (CCF) as it relates to changes and development at the community level. There are conflicting arguments regarding how the community capitals are related to each other, but almost no empirical studies that actually investigate this relationship. Using the CCF, this article examines how the capitals may be related using data from a large sample of participants in community leadership development education programs where the framework was used to document the effects of these programs. Discussion examines how the empirical relationships among the capitals effect community development and how useful the CCF is in helping to understand this process. The findings suggest that elements of the CCF need some modification as the process appears to have a more complex relationship than proposed in prior research.
