Civic participation means local residents are actively involved in the improvement of the community as a whole through increased volunteerism and participation in democratic processes. This could include participation in neighborhood groups, actions organized by those groups, volunteer activities that served children, youth, or the elderly of the community, voter registration, etc. When leadership develops from within the community to serve the common good, a society emerges that can no longer be controlled by self-serving political groups.
