You can make a difference in the lives of others and become part of the solution to community problems.

Community problems are hard to ignore: Increasing violence in schools… rampant drug and alcohol abuse… hate crimes… homelessness… gang violence… obesity epidemic… and so on… and so on.

How can you make a difference in your community?

No matter how busy you are, you can still be a part of the solution to community problems. Even if you don’t have a lot of time, you can still help make a difference.
