Primary purpose of the program, "Aztlan en Kansas: Asistencia Tecnologica", is to provide technical assistance to Mexican Americans in Kansas in developing leadership skills which could then be applied for the improvement of the whole community. The program utilized a Laubach model in that as a workshop was conducted, community leaders were identified who then agreed to conduct a second workshop. This way a cadre of community leaders reached as many people as possible. Designed to serve as a structure and as a resource for the project, this manual is written in a step-by-step, non-technical format so that it could be used by members of the cadre of community leaders after having participated in at least one workshop. The manual covers: instructions for workshop facilitator--materials and type of meeting room needed, general procedure for working in small groups, how to get started; how to get to know the participants; rules for an effective group; evaluation of individual participants and the whole group; leadership traits; functions and processes of a group; four basic functions of group members; decisions needed to be made; rules for brainstorming; large group priorization of goals; force field analysis; planned action; strategy implementation; plan of action; and workshop evaluation.
