Explain community engagement by giving an

example of your own experience.

Engagement is driven directly by a framework of guiding principles, strategies, and approaches
rather than a model.' This framework is founded on principles recognizing all community
members' right to be informed, consulted, involved, and empowered. To ensure success,
community engagement employs a variety of tools and strategies. It also emphasizes the
importance of fostering and strengthening trust as a critical component of long-term,
sustainable employment, and effective governance. The term "community" is also used to
describe groups of people, whether they are stakeholders, interest groups, or citizen groups. A
community can be a physical location (community of place), a group of people with similar
interests, or a group of people who share a joint affiliation or identity. Participating in the local
election is a good example of community engagement, especially for young adults like me.
Why then does this act qualify as a community engagement effort? Elections have
repercussions, as we all know. Each vote counts. Because we have the ability to decide what
kind of quality of life we want for our community, our families, and ourselves. Voting gives us
the opportunity to advocate for the issues that are important to us, such as quality education,
affordable housing, and economic justice. Another thing is that everyone in our community,
both citizens and non-citizens, pays taxes. But most people are unaware of how that money is
being spent. By voting, we have the opportunity to decide how our taxes are spent, including
whether to provide more money for social services and health care. This occurs through our
votes on particular propositions and ballot measures as well as the people we choose to hold
leadership positions in our communities who promise to support important social services. And
as student nurses, we do outreach medical missions in different localities because we believe
that more than just a job, a profession, or a career, nursing is a calling. It is a calling to spend
one's life caring for the ill and the poor. Nurses' calling can become a global one as we grow
aware of the urgent need for healthcare services in nations all over the world; we want to take
part in medical missions to create more humane and healthy communities free from sickness. In
order to ensure a positive outcome for caregivers, patients, and the communities in which we
volunteer, this calling should be pursued with great care and consideration.
