Six community builders in Edmonton, Alberta, planned, developed, and implemented Listen and Learn II, a reflective research project in asset-based community building, over a 6-month period in 1998. They met regularly over 2 months to plan the research and design a method that was open to participation at any stage, encouraged exchange of information among communities, and fostered continued growth through reflection. Nine key questions guided questionnaire development: what was being done, how and where the initiative started, how community assets were found and mobilized, challenges of community building, what determined sustainability, whether there was a role for a community builder, whether there was funding, how it evolved, and how success was defined. Interview data from eight groups were interpreted in three phases. Four main conclusions were drawn: (1) three key underpinnings for asset-based community building emerged: engaging others, relationship building, and action; (2) interviews and interpretations clearly indicated that the optimal group structure in community building was one that fostered an environment where the underpinnings could happen; (3) results of Listen and Learn II affirmed the elements of RAFF (Relationships, Action, Food, and Fun) that emerged from the first phase of the project; and (4) the Listen and Learn II method nurtured community building.
