Initial comments

  • The lead is too long and disproportionate for an article this size. At the moment it is one huge paragraph which makes it hard to the reader to read. I would strongly recommend splitting it into at least three paragraphs in order for it to comply per WP:LEAD and meeting the GA criteria
  • Per WP:LEAD, it is discouraged from using numbered examples in the lead. Furthermore, if anything is not mentioned anywhere else in the article then it should not be in the lead!
  • Per MOS layouts the picture should be at the very top of the article
  • The caption isn't strong enough to illustrate anything. "Community"? But isn't it people ice skating?
  • There are a few sentences in the History section that are unsourced. Also, the prose is slightly choppy as there are a lot of short paragraphs
  • "(for more, see: deinstitutionalization)" - should be removed as it should be replaced with a citation
  • "Formally, community-based program development has been professionalized by such disciplines as urban studies and planning and social work" - unsourced. Can it either be expanded or merged into another paragraph?
  • "Melvin Delgado, in 1999, illustrated this point by quoting Harper (1990)" - who is Delgado? What profession is he in? If he's not notable enough then the red link should probably be removed
  • Typically the bullet points in the Advantages section should be converted into prose, as per most GAs
  • "Low availability of limited resources is also associated with low levels of participant retention" - unsourced
  • "The five levels usually include" - why usually? Are there different variations?
  • Logic model paragraph largely unsourced
