A digital guide to community engagement for people with developmental disabilities living in in Mercer County, NJ

A community is made up of people who may have different experiences, interests, and lives, but who share a lot of the same resources because of location or demographic. Strong communities are built when these people overlap, and start to see all the reasons they are similar. Then, they can work together to make the things the community needs.

Community engagement happens when you seek out these relationships with other people and participate in making the things the community needs. People who participate in community engagement care about what is happening around them and how it affects the friends they have made. They have information about their community, and work hard to make it better.
