Community engagement is a hallmark of our country and one of its greatest assets. It is manifested in the myriad ways in which people participate in community life, as leaders and volunteers, as good citizens and good neighbors, in any role that promotes the common good.

Community engagement builds our neighborhoods, our voluntary institutions, our cities and villages. Above all, it builds social capital—that is, the trust and goodwill that make a civil society possible and enrich the lives of everyone.

The Center’s mission is to promote community engagement by fostering citizen involvement in voluntary and nonprofit organizations and by strengthening the voluntary and nonprofit organizations themselves.
