There are a number of different ways you can help people, either by solving small problems faced in the day to day world, or by working to resolve big issues important in your community. By thinking about the needs and concerns of others, you can put yourself in a position to help them overcome whatever troubles they face. The way you help those you know, close friends and family, will be different from how you help the rest of your community or the world, but all of them are ways you can contribute to making the world a better place.
If you think you want to get involved with others, but don’t know how to start or have something particular in mind to do, ask others. Friends, family, businesses, churches, and other social groups are already finding ways to help others and improve their communities, and they will probably have a few good suggestions for things you can do to join in.
