Civic Engagement
Your Greater Avenues Community Council is paying attention to things happening in our neighborhood and around the City, County and State to bring you the latest information on issues of public concern.
This page is also intended bring you opportunities for your own civic engagement.
You can help make a difference by getting involved!
Civic engagement is individual and collective action designed to identify and address issues of public concern.
Civic engagement can take many forms, from individual volunteering, organizational involvement and electoral participation.
The Avenues Civic Engagement Committee encourages Avenues residents to be informed, learn about the issues, let our elected officials know your thoughts, and to vote!
