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

I'm really sorry to do this seeing as you had to wait a while for this to be reviewed, but at the moment the article does not meet the GA criteria. The prose is somewhat choppy and the lead is larger than any other section of the article; it's disproportionate and also contains information that the body doesn't provide. I go by a rule that the lead should summarise the article and should act as a "mini article". I really hate failing GANs, but there are some serious organisational issues to tend to before this can meet the GA criteria. If you have any questions please do ask, otherwise good luck! ☯ Jaguar ☯ 13:21, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
