Community Involvement: Finding the Right Path for You

Do you want to engage more in the community around you, but aren't sure where to start? Do you want to be useful, want to make a difference, want to push local institutions in good directions -- but you're not sure if that means serving food at a soup kitchen, serving on an advocacy committee, or running for elected office? These are big questions, and we hardly ever talk about how to find the right place for you, given your interests, your skills and your availability.

Together, we will dive deep into the wide range of opportunities for involvement here in Somerville -- both formal and informal, both pre-organized and self-organized. We'll focus on how to approach these opportunities, connect and get your feet wet. So even if you live somewhere else, you'll find this approach will transfer to your community!
