There are many ways we can work to improve our community. By coming together and working towards common goals, we can make a real difference in the lives of those around us and help make our community a safer place.
Some ways you can get involved in improving your community include:
- Call 911 when you see a crime. Attend community CAPS meetings and report suspicious activity.
- Support your local businesses and restaurants. Buy from independent retailers whenever possible.
- Volunteer your time and talents. Whether it’s helping clean the local park or teaching kids to read, there are many ways to give back to the community.
- Be a good neighbor. Get to know the people who live near you, and look out for one another.
- Beautify your neighborhood. Plant flowers, pick up litter, and call 311 to have graffiti removed.
- Help the elderly. Check in on your elderly neighbors, offer to help with yard work or errands, and be patient when waiting in line behind them.
- Mentor a child. Share your time and wisdom with someone who could benefit from your guidance.
- Get involved in your Child’s school. Attend parent-teacher conferences, chaperone field trips and help with fundraisers and events.
- Educate yourself and others. Learning about issues facing your community can help be part of the solution. Spread the word to others and encourage them to get involved as well.
- Get involved. Vote in elections, and voice your opinion on issues that matter to you.
These are just a few ways that you can help improve the community. By getting involved and lending a helping hand, you can make a difference in the lives of those around you. What will you do to help make your community a better place?
