The 10 things that i need to do to enhance my community

  1. Clean up your community. Organize a group of family and friends and set aside one day a week or month to get together and pick up the litter and trash on the roadsides or beaches in your community. It doesn't have to be just your street that you clean up either. Take turns cleaning each other's streets or pick a different street or section of road each time. Just be sure to take proper safety precautions. 
  2. Give back to your community by volunteering. There are a lot of worthy causes, and they could be as simple as volunteering to coach the kid's neighborhood ball team, organizing a bake sale or fundraiser for someone that may be sick or needy in your community, volunteering at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen, or helping or visiting an elderly person who otherwise may not have any family to do so.
  3.  Organize a neighborhood watch in your community with your family, friends and neighbors. This will make the community safer for you and your neighbors, and give you a good opportunity to get to know your neighbors better.
  4.  Be active in your community by taking part in local activities such as church events, charities, town hall meetings, or community voting. If it affects you and your community, take part and voice your opinion.
  5.  Plan social activities in your community such as cookouts, ball games, barbecues, festivals, parades, or other annual events. This can be a great way to get people in the community involved by coming out and getting to know each other. It will also show any visitors to your community that it is a friendly and pleasant place to live. Set good examples
  6. . A great way to improve your community is not by concentrating on the faults of your neighbors but by setting a good example of behavior yourself. Be friendly and outgoing to your neighbors and keep your home clean, your trash picked up, and your yard mowed. Don't be overly loud or disruptive in the neighborhood.
  7.  Get involved in town/city government
  8. Volunteer at a local school, senior center, hospital or animal shelter
  9.  Start a freecycle group
  10.  Join or start a Common Security Club.
