Why Get Involved in a Social Community

by NY Community

You can join a local community for any of the following reasons (they vary from adult to adult):

  • Protect loved ones
  • Personal experiences
  • Protect people with similar life ordeals
  • Advocate for better community life
  • Giving
  • Exchange knowledge, skills, and experiences

A social community life isn’t just about giving to a local group or community. Here’re reasons to inspire and motivate you to develop social connectedness:

  • Improving your language skills
  • Meeting new people
  • Enhancing relations between your community and others
  • Experiencing and celebrating different cultures
  • Keeping abreast with technology and updating your skills
  • Developing self-esteem, confidence and life structure
  • Advocating for change in your community to make it a better place through new approaches and ideas.
  • Easing back to work after an illness or bringing up a family
  • Building job contacts – getting references, meeting employers in the local social community and improving your CV.
  • Trying out something different such as work or developing new skills.

A social community life isn’t just for adult and seniors. People of all ages can benefit from a feeling of belonging and social connectedness.

Your contributions to the social community would make a difference! And, that’s what matters. In return, you get something that’s invaluable and priceless despite your age or stage in life.
