Take action!
But what's so great about taking an active part in your community?
Well, here are some good reasons to get involved:
- get a sense of connection and belonging - share your interests, beliefs, culture, values ... - have more control over your own life - feel valued, useful and appreciated - have fun doing something you might not have tried before - build up your self-confidence and self-esteem - learn new skills
Sound good?
