Importance of Community
1. Support and safety
Living with uncertainty has become the
norm during the COVID pandemic. This
has made it more important than ever to
have a strong support network in place.
One of the main reasons behind the
importance of community is that it can
help fight feelings of hopelessness and
give us the certainty that we are safe
when surrounded by our community.
2. Connection and belonging
Togetherness is so central to our experience as humans; that feeling we are part of something bigger can help
give meaning to our lives and
being accepted into a group gives us a stronger sense of self and can help us cope with negative experiences and
feelings.
3. Influence
Sometimes we need an extra
push to stop us from falling
into unhealthy habits or
thoughts and can influence
us and motivate and invest in
our well-being and to bring
positive changes to our lives.
4. Sharing
Sharing activities, ideas and feelings
reinforces not only our sense of self, but
also adds worth and value to the
community. Indeed, the more the merrier
applies in this case! That’s not to
mention the huge
beneficial effect sharing can have on men
tal health
: higher engagement, positive emotions,
and empowerment are only some of the
benefits. Sharing is caring.
5. Learning and Acceptance
Find people who have different
views, experiences, or beliefs, and
learning from them can help us
reach insights that we may not
have reached on our own and
developing community bonds with
others who have different views may
be challenging, but it’s also an
opportunity to practice acceptance.
6. More connections, more chances of success
Since the pandemic begun we’ve

seen a stronger focus on
supporting local businesses, so this
is a good place to start networking
and building strong relationships.
You never know where that could
take your business idea or
professional life.

1. Economic Opportunity Act of 1964

which intends to provide jobs, educate and support the financial needs of entrepreneurs.

community.

we value and be one with the community.

community helps to sustain community’s
growth and development.
