Civic engagement is the sense of connectedness that citizens feel with others and a willingness to serve their community and engage in community problem-solving. It can take many forms -- from making charitable contributions to volunteering, from voting to campaigning for candidates or issues to serving on local boards, committees, and councils. Virginia encourages citizens to strengthen their communities through civic participation, volunteerism, and service.
