Community & Culture


A strong community is dependent upon its residents being actively involved in the community. Civic engagement is an indication that persons feel committed to the place where they live. Being involved in the community not only benefits the community, it also benefits the individuals who are involved by expanding their social networks and giving them intrinsic rewards. A prosperous community should be able to offer its residents opportunities to experience the arts and culture. As leisure time activities, these types of experiences enrich the population by expanding its horizons.
