WHAT IS IT?
Self-Involvement to Community Engagement
People can get involved in many ways--here are just a few:
1. Get involved in planning processes like creating goals or defining the problem
2. Donate money or help out with a fundraising effort
3. Volunteer to staff the office, answer phones, put together mass mailings, or make phone calls4. Doing
research, writing grant proposals, or handling correspondence5. Attend public events like rallies,
community hearings, or fundraising events6. Serve on committees that focus on specific problems or
activities7. Take leadership roles in a community partnership
Characteristics of Solidarity / How Solidarity is Shown in the Community
1. Creating an environment in which mutual service is encouraged.2. Creating social conditions in which
human rights can be respected and nurtured. 3. Recognizing and accepting the whole range of
corresponding duties and obligations that are embedded in our social nature can occur only in an
atmosphere enlivened by solidarity
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCommunity participation offer reasons on why the process of community
engagement might be useful in addressing the physical, interpersonal, and cultural aspects of
individuals’ environments. The real value of participation stems from the finding that mobilizing the
entire community, rather than engaging people on an individualized basis or not engaging them at all,
leads to more effective results. Simply stated, change "... is more likely to be successful and permanent
when the people it affects are involved in initiating and promoting it". In other words, a crucial element
of community engagement is participation by the individuals, community-based organizations, and
institutions that will be affected by the effort.
This participation is "a major method for improving the quality of the physical environment, enhancing
services, preventing crime, and improving social conditions". There is evidence that participation can
lead to improvements in neighborhood and community and stronger interpersonal relationships and
social fabric. Robert Putnam notes that social scientists have recently "...unearthed a wide range of
empirical evidence that the quality of public life and the performance of social
institutions...are...powerfully influenced by norms and networks of civic engagement." Moreover,
"researchers in...education, urban poverty,...and even health have discovered that successful outcomes
are more likely in civically engaged communities. For example, Steckler’s CODAPT model, for
"Community Ownership through Diagnosis, Participatory Planning, Evaluation, and Training (for
Institutionalization)," suggests that when community participation is strong throughout a program’s
development and implementation, longterm program viability, i.e., institutionalization, is more likely
[Link] community participation literature suggests that:· People who interact socially with
neighbors are more likely to know about and join voluntary organizations.· A sense of community may
increase an individual’s feeling of control over the environment, and increases participation in the
community and voluntary organizations.
· Perceptions of problems in the environment can motivate individuals (and organizations) to act to
improve the community.
"When people share a strong sense of community they are motivated and empowered to change
problems they face, and are better able to mediate the negative effects over things which they have no
control," write. Moreover, "a sense of community is the glue that can hold together a community
development effort" ). This concept suggests that programs that "...foster membership, increase
influence, meet needs, and develop a shared emotional connection among community members" can
serve as catalysts for change and for engaging individuals and the community in health decision-making
and action.
