Community Participation
Community participation involves the active engagement of local individuals and groups in decision-making processes that affect their lives and environment. It fosters collaboration between schools, families, and community organizations to enhance educational outcomes and support services. This involvement can lead to more relevant and effective programs tailored to community needs. By encouraging volunteerism and input, community participation strengthens social ties and builds a sense of ownership. Ultimately, it promotes a more inclusive and supportive environment for students and families.
