Events in One’s
Locality/Community
Showing Solidarity
Heller Keller once said, "Alone, we can do so little, together, we can do so much."
Meanwhile, Victor Vicsek said: "Jack of all trades, Master of none, but often times better than a
master of one".
Both of them explained equally through wise reflections and in the breadth and depth of life
experiences. Let us cross the bridge and journey together and appreciate the importance of this
lesson that the greater good of the community may be realized through solidarity in the community

If there will be a meaningful participation of the people in the community and collaboratively
affiliate themselves, their diversity of voices can surely identify and address issues and concerns.
Therefore, a harmony of interests is necessary so that we can synchronically glue the spirit of
solidarity and willingly be of assistance in any community outreach that will eventually happen in
the community.
Forms of Community Engagement
Direct Service: Giving personal time and energy to address immediate community needs.
Examples Include tutoring, serving food at a shelter, building or repairing homes, and neighborhood
park clean‐ups.
Community Research: Exploring a community to learn about its assets and how it is being
affected by current social problems. This form of community engagement provides knowledge that
other efforts can build upon.
Advocacy and Education: Using various modes of persuasion (e.g., petitions, marches,
letter‐writing to convince government or corporate decision‐makers) to make choices that will benefit
the community. Education also includes raising public awareness of social issues by giving
speeches to community groups, distributing written materials to the general public, or providing
educational activities in schools.
Capacity Building: Working with the diverse constituencies of a community and building
on existing assets to solve problems and making it a better place. Creating a space for everyone
in the community to have a say in what the community should be like and how to get there.
Political Involvement: Participating in processes of government such as campaigning and
voting. This includes keeping informed about issues in the local, national, and global communities
in order to voted responsibly and engaging in discourse and debate about current social issues.
Socially Responsible Personal and Professional Behavior: Maintaining a sense of
responsibility to the welfare of others when making personal or professional decisions in using
one’s career or professional training to benefit the community. This category describes personal
lifestyle choices that reflect commitment to one’s values: recycling, driving a hybrid car, or bicycling
to work; buying or not buying certain products because of unjust corporate policies or choosing to
work for companies with socially just priorities.
Philanthropic Giving: Donating funding or needed items; organizing or participating in
fundraising events.
Participation in Associations: Participating in community organizations that develop the
social networks that provide a foundation for community‐building efforts including civic associations,
sports leagues, church choirs, and school boards.
