By being involved in your community improvement, you can gain a sense of achievement. Oftentimes, when we feel dissatisfied with how things are done in our community, it can be tempting（有诱惑力的）to pull back entirely from getting involved. The problem is that the road to community improvement depends on the work of tons of volunteers who work tirelessly for improvement. So before you decide how you'll get involved, consider what you'd like to see as a result from your service. Here are a few of the benefits to consider:
You can make small, everyday improvements to your community. You may not notice when the park is looking especially clean. Living in a community that seems loved and cared-for has a huge impact on our general sense of well-being and happiness.
There are many people who'd like to get involved but don't know how. By seeking out involvement opportunities, you can set a good example and you can also help others find the resources and information they need to get involved.
You can develop good values in your family. Kids are hugely impacted by the values of their parents, so demonstrate to your kids the importance of civic activities by getting involved in community efforts.
Start something big. If you've noticed something going on in your area that you think is a problem, the chances are that others have noticed it, too. Even if they haven't, once it's been brought to their attention, they'll be likely to have an opinion on it. In this way, you can start something big!
A. Consider your role in the community.
B. You can set a good example for others.
C. So why not bring attention to these kinds of issues?
D. However, you'll notice when it's looking especially dirty.
E. Local organizations in your community can be of help.
F. During these times, we tend to feel like our voices don't matter.
G. Include them in any efforts where it'll be safe for kids to participate.
