One of the types of engagement events is civic; these are small events that require little effort to set up. These events highlight progressive values by taking local action.
Examples of events include drives for collecting food, clothing, and toys or helping disabled seniors, citizens, and veterans with daily tasks. Community cleanup days, snow removal, fall cleanup, and small-scale construction projects (Habitat for Humanity) are also good ideas but require a little more planning. The events are designed to be free and require very little other than sweat equity from participants. To ensure the most effective activity for the community, these events are seasonal and regional in nature. Committees hosting civic engagement events increase support and raise awareness among audience members.
