A community feels more alive when people who live there try to help improve it. If you look around and see that your community has a lot of problems, there's no better time to start fixing them than right now.
Stop to offer help when and where you're needed
It's a simple way to create the atmosphere that makes people feel safe and happy. If you see someone in need of assistance, come to their aid instead of looking on.
Volunteer in your community
Donating your time is an excellent way to have a positive effect on your community. It costs organizations a lot of time and money to train volunteers, so make sure that you will be available and willing to help out on a long-term basis.
You can help in many ways. Consider starting your own business. In this way you can serve your community by offering a great product and possibly even hiring employees. And try to get most of your produce from the local market and shop at local stores.
Attend community events
How often do you show up to community events? Just showing up is a way to help people in your community because it lets them know that you care. For example, if someone is trying to hold a "Bike to Work or School Day" on Monday mornings, and you've got a bike, why not give it a try? Show people in your community that biking is fun.
